yea, region locking is why the hardware I've personally bought was ds lite and then switch. region locking is abhorrent. that said, they've been pretty good about maintaining quality, both in hardware (durability) and software. switch is changing that with a ton of 3rd party stuff, but thus far their track record is dramatically, orders of magnitudes better than PS, PC, XBox, or mobile.
