What is a DevKit? 

“A dev-kit is usually a modified version of a product, such as a phone or game console. The modifications allow a computer to download software into the product, to connect peripherals not ordinarily supported, and to debug software more effectively,” according to sources on Google. 

So in this case, the DevKit may refer to a modified Switch 2 which is made especially for the game studios for creating and publishing games for the console.
