I was surprised to see that both left and right joycons have the mouse functionality. Was cool to see it in action with the wheelchair basketball game.

RIP floors and tables.
The Legion did this and it was stupid. This is just a gimmick at best.
If you make a game that requires mouse control, then you can't play it when you're away from a desk.
But-
If you make a game that works well with either joycon or mouse, then no one will use the mouse.
I doubt that no one will use it. If you make a good input method that works with a decent variety of games, some will switch to it. Perhaps Nintendo could even sell some sort of tray/mousepad that lets you use the mouse decently well while sitting on the couch. It seems odd, but I think it has potential.
People use mouse on Xbox. There will always be some
From the article:
Though the livestream demonstrated the Joy-Con 2’s mouse function on flat surfaces, a press release shared by Nintendo to Business Wire confirms that sliding the Joy-Con 2 controllers over a pair of pants will also work.
