Why I regret buying the Nintendo Switch

Summary
Bought a Switch from boredom to play Fortnite, but after two weeks its Joy-Cons proved worse than phone touch controls. He criticizes the bottom charging port, flimsy side kickstand, two-to-three-hour battery, inferior screen/audio, dock-scratch risk, and accessory costs. Nintendo feels childish; Zelda is bland, eShop prices reach $65–$80 without refunds, and he delays videos until finishing.
Insight
The purchase produces buyer’s remorse: intended gaming replacement fails, while familiar phone gaming remains preferable.
