Doesn't this run counter to EU's rule that all small electronic devices - which the Switch 2 falls under - need to have USB-C chargers? In the sense that even though the plug is USB-C shaped, it's not compliant to the standard?

Yeah the requirements are for USB-C power delivery for devices capable of charging @ (if I remember correctly) > 15W.

The requirement was placed in the radio equipment directive of the EU so unlikely they will amend it to add requirements for USB-C cabled data transmission.
