The joy-con grip comes with these systems. Also, this specific bundle is made for people that own a Switch and want more for their household (remember in Japan living space is more limited so there is one TV per house) so a dock and separate AC adapter is not necessary for people that already have one. 

everyone in japan is buying switch mainly as a handheld device, nintendo knows this, thats why they excluded the ac adapter, its just a way for nintedo to make the price cheaper and try to boost sales in japan, with out really taking a hit. i think we can all agree the ac adapter cost nintendo nothing to make, yet they exluded to force people into paying 30$ for them.

Yep this. Japan is well known for supporting handhelds much more than consoles. This makes a lot of sense for Japan as most Japanese players will be picking this up for the handheld part. 

I dont expect this to come to the west.
