Never, that is how they sell the $70 pro controller.

Where is the conflict? The can sell it with the exact same profit margin as the pro controller.
In fact, it's more money, because plenty of people will want BOTH good tablet controls AND pro controller while docked.

Although personally I would not want just better D-pad alone, but combined with a better hand posture/ergonomics.
I.e. abandoning flat profile, but allowing proper 3-d angled hand posture, which will take up SOME more space,
but not as much as carrying around a separate pro controller (which req's kickstanding the screen, i.e. not handheld play)

If they don't want to do it themself, licence it out to 3rd parties to who can fill every niche possible.

EDIT: Here are pics of Android gaming tablets with at least general approximation of decent ergonomics, D-pad etc.
Basically, take PS4/Xbox controller and cut out the middle part, and dock to the same controller ports of Switch.
