Nintendo has released a five-minute overview trailer for Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, its interactive exhibit that introduces the features and hardware of Switch 2.
Well, if we are counting all the post launch bundles, then the OG Switch definitely had pack-ins too. I bought mine bundled with MK8DX.
But if you want to talk launch pack-ins, the only ones I know had them for certain were the original NES, Game Boy and Wii. The GBP, GBL, GBC, GBA, GCN, all did not launch with pack-ins The DS technically had a Metroid demo and a messaging app. I don’t think the N64 launched with any bundles and SNES looks like it had a launch bundle in North America only. I’m not sure about the 3DS or WiiU, but the NEW 3DS didn’t even come with a charging cable.
So, yeah. It’s very stupid that Welcome Tour isn’t a pack-in, but it is not unprecedented in the least.
Even the basic, original release package of the consoles came with something. NES had Mario Bros. SNES had Super Mario World. N64 had Mario 64. GameCube had Mario Sunshine, and later on Animal Crossing.

They had TONS of pack-in games depending on when you got your console.
Shit, the SNES had certain sets that came with the arcade controller or the mouse (and the mouse one came with Mario Paint).
