Oh yeah, definely.And thats certainly something that might be possible to do in the future.The reason that they didnt release a more "robust" joy con as of now is maybe because they wanted to focus on lesser stuff to make the concept easier to sell(as in, less things to promote and make the message simpler to pass on), and could also be because they could find a right design that dosent compromise the "joycon becomes two controllers" idea(but if the Switch keeps on selling as well as it is, I dont think they would have an issue of selling such joycon as an acessory down the road)

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Makes sense from a marketing perspective.

But there's also a part of me that thinks that Nintendo won't care at all if there are some people who don't like the joycons. They don't really have a history of giving their customers exactly what they want. Maybe it will be an issue for them when it becomes evident that the joycons absolutely don't work for esports (Splatton, Smash), thinking that they also supported the GC controllers on WiiU.

Could be.After all, Nintendo isnt exactly the only company to do that.There is also the point that maybe such an acessory wouldnt sell enough to justify its existence(Nintendo must surely have some sort of internal data that they got from  group tests and such about how many would absolutely need such a joycon).They would be wrong naturally.

Nintendo must also be thinking along the lines that, for those kind of people, the Pro Controller must be enough.Either way, I think its safe to assume that we wont be seeing such design for at least a year.I think Nintendo is more than happy with the sales as it is, and truth be told, they have bigger challenges.
