I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles. /s Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA. There is already a switch in my household, but the price along with the ability to remotely brick the device, is what made our household pass on the switch 2. We bought a second steam deck instead.

They don't want the controllers to have hall effect joysticks because they would out last the console, and they wouldn't be able to sell replacements. Its not a cost issue in my opinion, the controllers are already in the high end price range.

You can test your theory though, you can replace switch joysticks with hall effect sticks. I found multiple sellers in a web search but haven't used them myself.
