Lol nah, they might be generally well designed, but they've been making it all in China (until now for tariff bypass) for decades now, so you don't get the Japanese OEM quality shine you usually get out of other electronics.

Most of the repair will be for damaged consoles. Switch 1 battery lasted pretty well considering most phone batteries begin to deteriorate around 4 years.

Aside from that though, I expect the joycon drift issue to be unfixed which will be the real issue, especially as warranties expire.
