i know
no it's all true. nintendo failed miserably with thew switch. once the ps5 is out i'm done with it until mp4 is out. i'm tried of getting games for it only to have them run like garbage thanks to it's inferior HANDHELD hardware it can't even run games made 4 years ago!
That's not on Nintendo, that's on developers who can't be bothered to optimize their games. There are a lot of minor adjustments developers can make that would make games run significantly better. Hell, I'm pretty sure the things in The Witcher 3 like the game's dynamic rendering actually made performance worse. You get it at almost a consistent 30 with the patch from February once you adjust the graphics settings. And I think it actually looks better without all of the filtering and effects.
It's up to the developers to make sure their games run properly. It's not up to Nintendo to make sure that lazy developers don't have to put in work. All of Nintendo's stuff runs great, and there are a lot of great looking 3rd party titles that run well.

No one is forcing anyone to buy joy-cons. If you don't want to deal with drift, don't buy them it's that simple. There are many 3rd party Joy-con alternatives available.
Decent third party joycons really only became available over the last year and a bit. These ones from AliExpress work very well. No HD rumble or NFC, but other than that they're great. I've had them for about 10 months and they've never had any issues. They're not comfortable to use split though, but at $30-$35 USD a pair they cost less half what a pair of joycons cost. They're on Amazon for $45 as well.
The gyro works well on the games I've tried it on for the most part. They don't play well with RE Revelations 2 but that game has some janky motion controls with real joycons. Zelda BOTW and Splatoon 2 work with them just fine.
And some games do need official joycons. Mario Party has minigames that use 3D rumble. Some games use the IR camera too.
I think I've mentioned this before somewhere, but why can't they just add trim controls? There isn't a joystick in the world that won't eventually drift so the correct mitigation is to allow easy adjustment to correct this.
Yeas, but I've never owned any controller that's had a permanent drift, nor any that drift as quickly. And I've got controllers I've had for 10-15 years. That means that joycons are more prone than any other controller. What they need to do is use different analogue sticks.
Probably an unpopular opinion but here it comes.
I've had a switch since 2017 and haven't got any drift, but i had to change the joystick myself this morning because it broke the left stick pressing button from a fall.
It took me 15 minutes to change it and 7€ per joystick (bought x2 package in Amazon 14,xx€), paying 40$ for a repair is stupid, there's plenty guides which show how to change it yourself.
It's has been easier to change the joystick than changing right trigger on the original 3DS.
Don't know which extreme use are you giving to your consoles but having it since 2017 and 0 problems.
Maybe the problem is that people nowadays doesn't take good care of the things they buy.
The extremes where Nintendo chose to use low quality pre-existing parts.
