Yes, there are outlets, but that makes the device no longer portable.  It turns into a device that tethers you to a wall.  Checkout this link and scroll down to the shot of the Switch and WiiU thickness comparisons:

The solution also lies in convincing companies (in this case Nintendo) that device thinness shouldn't be prioritized over battery life.  Functionality vs aesthetics.

Is thin to be functional as a handheld not because aesthetics, you are contradivting yourself.

How is that?  Home console controllers are much thicker than the Switch, and yet people aren't fumbling around desperately trying not to drop them while playing a game.  What is the functional advantage of the Switch being so thin?
