To me it isn't, it's one of the most ridiculous features of the Switch. The placement of the port prohibits charging and playing in Tabletop mode at the same time, something they should've accounted for with a secondary charge only port *or* using a slide system on the dock for connection. Just the fact that the dock uses a straight-up USB plug instead of a zero insertion force connection or a mezannie is ridiculous, it's bad design. If you look at their previous systems they had no issues putting a charge connector on the top and a dock connection on the bottom. Admittedly those old connectors only charged the system, but nevertheless, this was a design decision, and a poor one. There's no reason why the Switch couldn't have a simple barrel plug or even a secondary port on the top, there is ample room for it. They're promoting Tabletop as a feature, so as a user I feel that I should be able to use it while I charge the system. Heck, even including a little stand would've sufficed.
Yeah, the tiny charge docks are quite handy for this purpose. I did read your post, I simply think that one of these bad boys should've been included, or there should've been a workaround for this problem - the port doesn't *have* to be on the bottom to make a solid connection. There are technical solutions for this problem, but Nintendo chose to follow the path of least resistance - USB-C is not a connector intended for this kind of docking.
That kickstand can snap if you look at it funny, I don't know why they even bothered. The Switch is full of those little "quirks" that irk me, like the Joycons being on bi-directional rails when they only work one way and get stuck otherwise. A miniscule amount of plastic, one little peg, would've completely negated the possibility of putting it on the wrong way around by accident, but they've gone with the easier path, to the user's detriment. It's working just fine as is, but there are some functional problems with the system that should've been addressed in the design stage.
Tempette is most definitely Switch-inspired - I should know, she's my creation. I figured that the dynamic duo needed a female counterpart for the relaunch of Temper Tantrums, so I brought a basic design to the table and we brainstormed until she was born. @Sushiru_River played a pivotal role ironing things out in concept art - I'm an ideas man, I have two left hands for art. I'm actually quite proud of the end result, I think the lack of characterisation was something that was missing from the old comics, so we put more emphasis on it now. You can expect the characters to become more defined and recognisable going forward, at least in the narrative section of Tantrums.
