So why couldn't the screen not just shut off without the dock? That can even be done on the Gamepad. As long as we don't know whether or not the dock actually does something useful, my post stands, and I do know perfectly well what the dock's supposed to be for. It's not exactly rocket science. It's also not like I'm advocating dual-screens here, I'm questioning the rime or reasoning Nintendo had with this. It's just a shaky idea that brings a solution to a problem that didn't exist, and apparently it could have have gone perfectly fine without it. Besides, the dock isn't even the only questionable thing/design choice about the Switch but that's another story.
