I am curious about this, Has there actually been any proof of a dock being the cause of a switch bricking? Also were the docks being used with cheap grade third party power adapters? I've searched for proof of this on youtube and the 1k+ recesses of google results and come up empty on seeing it happen or of the actual circuit boards of the broken consoles to see indications of surges. This seems to coincide with the release of nintendos 1st quarter sales totals for the switch but I won't delve too deep down that rabbit hole. Hate to say it but proof or it didn't happen like you claim it did.
I should stop trying. Some research shown that Nintendo Doesn't follow the USB-C high voltage standards and that's causing the issues. Just normal USB charging won't be an issue. But when you use a 3rd party dock, they use a different way of charging the Switch. The same issues happens when you try a 3rd party high voltage charger/batterybank directly on the switch or dock. Bot of them can die on you.
