Don't know if it's planned obsolescence or just laziness but all of my Nintendo Switches have at least a little drift and I've bought at least two replacement sets of joy-cons AND replaced just the joystick on one unit (PITA and replacements didn't work 100% so I stopped repairing).

Check out hall effect replacement sticks next time, better than new and supposed to hold up a while

I sent mine in to Nintendo to get fixed, I think they had to do it for free.

Xbox controllers are really bad about this too. I've had like three or four Xbox controllers get stick drift on me in the last 6 or 7 years.
