While the evidence sounds pretty strong in this case, this is a tricky area to accuse people of plagiarism. As diverse as the English language is, there are only so many ways to translate text from another language and some of the verbiage is more common than others. If you asked 100 people to translate one project, you're going to get a lot of near identical or even some identical passages. And yes, even some errors will be identical because certain types of mistakes are more likely to happen than others.
It kind of reminds me of how people consider the spelling of Jif (the peanut butter) or the Berenstain Bears to be a "Mandela Effect" when its easily explained by people tending to make the same spelling mistakes.
It was apparently confirmed that this is a handmade unit for their "EU partners" (meaning people they want to convince that its real). They are not even close to manufacturing and likely never will.
Even ignoring Tommy's very poor attempts at marketing and the way he and his supporters attack any critics in the most juvenile ways... (I could go on for days about that). There's just almost nothing positive about the product. It's even more underpowered than the Switch. The controllers do not look good in any way. It sounds like there's no real incentive for 3rd parties to work with it and there doesn't seem to be any market for it.
