This is one of the most biased, non-sensical responses I've ever seen. What's so special about a dock, exactly? Seriously. From a technical point of view, explain what's so critical about a dock that Nintendo can only trust itself to do it right.

Besides, If it was that critical, why even put a USB-C port on it? Just make a USB-C to proprietary port adapter that allows for chargin on the go, similar to the 40 adapters Apple makes because they keep tearing ports off of their laptops.

Low quality power cable/plug could fry Switch/screw the battery. Low quality video connectors will mess up the display. Remote controls and a plastic stand aren't going to do that. Switch is going to be in and out of that dock all the time. Samsung and Apple both do it and Nintendo is supposed to be competing with smartphones these days so it makes sense.

I'm sure Nintendo has their reasons but even if it's to give themselves room for a price cut later, I don't care.
