I never actually use my switch in portable mode! I’ve basically had it docked since I first got it. For me I feel as though the games are where they put all of their energy at the moment. You’re right that they could really stand to make improvements to the portable playing experience. I was also never a fan of joy cons lol. I hear the switch OLED is a lot better for portable play at least! I haven’t been interested myself though since they didn’t make any improvements to the on-tv playing experience sadly.
