Wouldn't it be a safer design if the joycons slide up from the bottom instead of slide down from the top? Even if the the release pins fail, the main device couldn't be pulled down by gravity this way.

Sure, one of the JoyCons could fall down instead, but these are cheaper to replace than the main device.

Would be a safer design, but also less convenient. The way its made, you can slide on and off the Joy-Cons while the console is in the dock. which works as a charging station for both the console and Joy-Cons, so that's going to be common usage for the majority of people. It would be a bit of a hassle to always have to remove the console from the dock to put back on or remove Joy-Cons.

Well, I wouldn't remove them at home and use the Pro controller instead for TV mode ;)
