    [In addition to my other reply:]

    So the video is essentially saying that Nintendo requiring docks be their proprietary basic one and not supporting third-party docks with more features could be a sign of companies like Apple, Samsung, and others making their USB/Thunderbolt ports proprietary?

    Doubt it.

    Yeah. Apple, Google, etc. are gatekeppers according to the EU, Nintendo currently isn’t. So they can do it without pushback, others can’t.

    the Switch OS may have started as an Android fork (I’m not sure how true this was at release — prior to the Switch launch it was reported that they were forking Android)

    What? That has never been true. The Switch OS is a continuation of the 3DS OS which is why Yuzu is a fork of Citra. Switch uses a few Android libraries here and there and also some FreeBSD code in the kernel.

    Seems you confuse Nintendo with Huawei and their HarmonyOS which used to be an Android fork.

    I just got the Switch 1 OLED 11 months ago

    So you’re telling yourself that the Switch 2 is a minor update because it makes you feel better…
