There is currently no word as to why this is happening.
Additionally, the official English page for Nintendo customer support confirms that this latest Nintendo Switch version update has been suspended. However, as mentioned previously, there is currently no reason as to why. The page does mention that once the software is available for a safe download, it will update.
As of May 2021, Nintendo Switch sales surpassed 84.59 million units worldwide. Additionally, it was revealed that sales in Japan for the Nintendo Switch topped just over 20 million units.
