So no detatchable controllers? I think that would defeat the purpose of a cheaper model when it forces you to buy an additional controller to play the system docked.

If you want cheap... You don't want extra mechanical components to drive up price.
Integrating the controllers into the device would eliminate that entirely... Plus all the duplicated components like the acceleraometers, gyroscopes, haptic feedback, bluetooth, batteries and so on.
Heck, throw out the dock as well.

Also the Switch is in a different situation from the 3DS. It had a unwanted gimmick that forced Nintendo to massively cut the price early and take losses.

Makes absolutely zero difference. Gimmick or not.

They couldn't possibly price cut it again so instead the 2DS was made. The Switch doesn't need a 2DS, it's selling great as is and can have price cuts gradually. 3DS can fill the cheap handheld niche until the Switch's value gets there.

And there is a ton of potential cost cutting that can be done to the switch as well.
