But there are alternative docks available - Nyko makes a much smaller, more portable dock, for example.
Charging, input, and network adapters are all common, standard USB-C & Bluetooth, so that's progress at least.

I'm speculating here, but it's likely the Tegra at the Switch's core natively supported MyDP (Mobility DisplayPort), since it targeted mobile applications, where DisplayPort is a more common standard.
