It's not boxed worse than most expensive smartphones and iPads.

Their displays are also directly behind the cardbox, so that you see the display first after opening the box.

Stapling into these boxes is just stupid.

I've never seen a smartphone boxes cardboard you could bend, I have kept all my smartphone boxes since the S2, while there is one brown box where they were going eco friendly that's a bit off they are strong as hell and same for Apples packaging at least up to the IPhone 14. The Switch 2 has a very thin cardboard over the top top with the screen exposed, not even padding or a thin foam. It is packaged so, so much worse and it was inviting the stapler incident, not gamestops fault and completely on Nintendo, I find is suspect and the fact that they could simply flip it over screams planned, controlled controversy that costs them nothing. 

The Switch 2 is in a sturdy cardboard box enclosed into another bendy cardboard box.

These two boxes combined aren't less sturdy than the cardboard box of a $1000 - $3000 iPad Pro:
