Isn’t the Japanese-only version all digital? Or am I making that up? That would save a bit of money, right?

It's not all digital. From what we've seen, it's identical to normal Switch 2 except that it only allows Japanese language and Japanese eShop games. That restriction is clearly just so very few people from other countries will try to buy the Japanese version.

Vietnam is also a good example.
Vietnamese workers can't afford to not work these manufacturing jobs,
nor can they afford American goods, so there's no way they can be bullied into addressing the trade imbalance.

Only certain electronics are exempt. Unfortunately, the Switch 2 does not qualify. Matter of fact all consoles (not just Switch 2) have been lumped together as..."casino games". While not entirely incorrect (loot boxes), that is hilarious.

Thank you. I’ve updated the original post.

Meanwhile Japan is on track to drop their reciprocal tariffs (or some such deal)

The price will not change.

Look like some stuff went up because of the tariffs wonder if this didn't happen what the prices would be a retail.
