Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]
It's not that large considering the size of NVIDIA drivers + WebKit alone.
By comparison, the Wii U with it's "nice touches" was over 5 GB.

The necessary OS for running the game doesn't need webkit, and I doubt the important part of the nvidia drivers is super big.

I would doubt they made a build of the OS without webkit, or else you’d have a OS without captive portal or eShop support. Feels annoying.
