So what was the super secret NX feature Nintendo didn't want anyone to copy?

There have been dozens of android peripherals and docking stations on the market for years. I could've built myself a Nintendo Switch years ago with an android tablet. Or I could've just bought a Shield Tablet which was released a year ago and does exactly the same.

Maybe Nvidia shouldn't have announced its tablet so early so that Nintendo couldn't steal it for their console.

Peripherals and accessories will exist, but not a lot of software supports it.

Are tablet docks really that common? I only know the Surface dock, but there are many cable expansion ports.

Docks are the same thing as expansion ports , just with more plastic. And yes there are a number of games that support controllers as well as touch. The only novelity that Nintendo has is that it's a tablet that runs Nintendo games, though that might change in the future as they expand to iOS and Android.

I can make myself a Nintendo Switch right now by getting a shield, a controller peripheral and one of the many Nintendo emulators.
