You can replace them yourself for less than 30
I shouldn't have to do their work for them
Absolutely the right attitude. Great they are repairable but ffs hall effect sensors are here and should be the industry standard across the board, not just singling out Nintendo. Crappy build quality for controllers is not something consumers should accept in 2023.
True, although my gripe is on the principality that they could charge $10 for the replacement parts and still make a nice profit. Even when handling each brand's controllers with the utmost care, I'll end up spending $60-$90 in replacement parts for a joycon before I need to replace an Xbox controller, and to add insult to injury, the Xbox controller costs less than a Joycon!
