Rumble technologies on all Nintendo consoles have been optional so if it's still not your thing, you won't have to suffer through it.

Do be aware that developers are looking at ways of using it directly in the games making it a requirement.

Indeed. Like 1-2 switch, and horror game I believe I saw.

Simply gives me the choice "buy it and hope the rumble feels good" or "don't buy it".

As long as I can turn it off in Xenoblade, Mario, or Fire emblem - I have no problem. Just a longing for less expensive hardware.

The Joy-cons and console are priced at what Nintendo thinks they can get away with. The HD feedback appears to be cheap technology probably cheaper than the rumble motors in a normal joypad so they aren't costing you more money and probably without them wouldn't make any difference to the prices Nintendo charge.
