Wiimotes weren't cheap they were the most expensive controllers at the time as a Wiimote and nunchuck cost £45 -£50 here in UK compared to the £30 of other controllers and that's before we addin the factor of the WMP add on 2 years later which added another £15 to the price if you wanted to play certain games until they released the built in model. Joycons at least can function as two controllers per pair and don't look to require any future add ons for now.

They were cheap. At least they were competitve against other console makers. These are running for $80 for a set and that isn't cheap. Its the most expensive controller in the business outside of the Xbox One Elite controller.

They're weren't cheap at the time, 45 quid plus 15 is also 60 quid which with inflation is higher than a joycon right now and the former also required batteries. A joycon set is two controllers essentially with all the required features out the box.
