I believe you might be interpreting this as an attempt at DRM or otherwise limiting use of third party accessories. All of this is just errors and flaws, rather than attempts to trip third parties. They're extremely easy to replicate if you want to make a Switch accessory, but it means that shit might happen if you try the Switch with a non-Switch accessory. Considering Nintendo's past of custom connectors and priority for making children-friendly items, I do not think Nintendo would make a device with a standard plug where children plugging in a standard charger might blow things up.
