Something else I considered while reading about this is that the stories of third party docks frying your Switch 1 might be Nintendo propaganda. Wouldn't surprise me but that's pure baseless speculation on my part. Either way I agree that what Nintendo should do is just conform to the USB spec, I'm just trying to read into their motivations a little bit.
