It's kind of a strange case as Nintendo are fixing this issue for free even when out of warranty every time it's requested by the customer

I'm assuming this case is lawyer driven for their own profit motive as I doubt any benefit for the customer will come out of it that's not already supplied by Nintendo's free repair, as for the Lite I don't think those few cases of drift is wear and tear as its on new units, it's more just regular manufacturing faults that Nintendo will fix free anyway    

Right.  And, that's the problem.  Nintendo knows there's a problem, yet they continue to sell hardware with the problem included.  

I'm with you. That is kind of sketchy. They should have designed the thumbsticks differently for the Lite while working on a fix for the original joycons.
