For most people this will be a non issue, but it absolutely is a possible issue.

That thing blows the switch out of the water in this price range IMO. So many options and PC games are dirt cheap compared. Trust me, I love the Switch, but it has no right at this point to be selling anywhere near the price of a base Steam Deck or ROG Ally IMO. Yeah, the Nintendo exclusives are great, but at the same time, there are plenty of other amazing games across various platforms to play without the Nintendo tax.
For reference I have an XBox series X and S and Switch along with a mini PC Ryzen 7 with a 2TB m.2 drive full of 7K+ (no dups) Retro games that run great. Plays all the way up to Switch games with no problem at hi-res. PS3 no issue eirher.
So yeah, I guess it comes down to use case scenario or bang for the buck. At this point I'm going with Steam or ASUS as a portable going forward.
For most people this will be a non issue, but it absolutely is a possible issue.
For other people though.. I would suggest paying a bit more and getting a US switch. That way you'll have a warranty and won't have to deal with the wifi bs if it becomes an issue. The wifi chip on the switch is already garbage, you don't want the channel to be restricted to 52 or lower. The only reason I put up with it is cuz I got a splatoon OLED model for $240. That was worth it to me. A mario edition at this price wouldn't be, it's not as cool looking and the price is a bit too high for a Japanese model.

TLDR; he's happy he bought it, but he never uses it... he plays lightweight and portable games on his Switch and he plays hefty titles on his PS5 and PC, with very little cause to heavy game on the go for 40 minutes or so.

It isn't really sensible to manufacture a 100V power supply for the japanese market and a separate 110-120V sku for US/Canada/etc. Most off the shelf components are already rated for that range anyway. So they're almost always internally identical.
Something with a big resistive load, like a toaster oven, is a different story.
