How low could they have offered a Home version for? Especially if they offered it controller free.

That point is moot. Nintendo won't sell a "controller-free" console.

But you are free to sell the Joy-Con-2 controllers if you buy the Switch 2 and only want to use your Switch-1-Pro controller to get some money back.

I don't think it's moot.

If they can sell a Switch Lite at 2/3s of an OG Switch then I don't see why they can't sell a Home at around 1/2 the price, even with a controller.

After all a Switch Lite still contains basically all of the components of a controller.

Extra components in Switch Lite vs Home - main battery, screen, charger.

Extra components in Home vs Switch Lite - small battery in the controller

Because you don't need to worry as much about thermals/power efficiency in the Home version I'd also imagine you could opt for some some cheaper 'non-mobile' components - RAM maybe?

EDIT - the people who would sell the dock due to only wanting to play undocked is obvs a completely different demo to a Switch Home.
