I would normally just chalk up most of these to normal failure rates in mass produced electronics.  However, this time I'm not so sure.  Not with the cheap docks that seem to not be made to a standard mold and/or imperfections in the molding process.  The cheap locking mechanisms for the Joycons.  And, more importantly, Nintendo saying that your screen having dead pixels is normal for LCD screens.  That last one pisses me off actually.  If Nintendo fans put up with Nintendo telling consumers they're on their own when it comes to dead pixels, they deserve Nintendo going 3rd party, or worse.

What? The dock doesn't feel cheap at all. And the Joy-Con locking meachnism is so sturdy that it stayed intact when a friend of mine ripped the joy-con attachment off by force (without clicking the "unlock" button) - the Joy-Con survived without a scratch.  

Also, I've only ever had problems with dead pixels on my Vita (exactly one to be precise) but I know Apple doesn't change devices with dead pixels either, unless there is a certain number of them so Nintendo is not the only company doing this.

Also, Nintendo generally has the best customer service of all three manufacturers in my experience. I just don't get the hate, especially the last sentence.
