 I've never heard about drifting issues on Pro controllers before mZuzek brought it up, so to me it seems more like the issue might be related to usual wear on the controller.

As it is a wear problem and much more people play with Joycons I am not surprised most people apply this problem to the Joycons. Heck, most people probably don't even own Pro-controllers.

My lesser-used Joy-Con is the one that has drift, and the Pro controller has an entirely different analog construction. I have indeed heard of a few Pro controller owners having issues, but nowhere near as many. I certainly haven't ever experienced it with mine.

Not to say it's not an issue there, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as widespread, and it certainly isn't as bad for publicity, so I doubt it'll ever see a "free fix" situation. Though Nintendo may do it at a discounted rate, at least.
