That's no dock but a usb-c hdmi adapter, no power is transmited.

It's almost as if I covered that in my original post, but allow me to expand on that.  I haven't exactly torn apart a dock yet, but I don't think adding the power adapter, and a simple power managment solution to transform the incoming voltage into whatver the USB-C uses , and powering the USB-C connector is an expensive endeavour. Based on my experience working on my own little projects, this actually quite cheap. You're talking less than $5 in off-the shelf components at retail cost, and Nintendo would be paying far less than that.

"Of course, as expected and despite the USB port that is usually universal, "USB Type C allows you to recharge the console when it is in tablet mode, but for everything concerning video, you Are forced to go through the dock for display through the TV ". Mr Koizumi quickly put an end to the expectations of people who wanted to use cables that were less cumbersome and cheaper than the (very) expensive dock."

See, it's not overpriced. Encryption isnt cheap.
