I wonder if the EU can throw the book at them. Technically the port on the switch is not USB-C but a proprietary port with the same physical connector. But EU mandates USB-C especially so people can use chargers and things they already have. So I wonder if Switch 2 violates EU regulations.
EU law that mandated all devices under 100W to adhere to the USB-PD protocol only passed a few years ago. Comparing it to the switch 1 is invalid because it was designed before the mandate existed. I made my statement with knowledge of the mandate
if you want to doubt nintendo didn’t follow it, nintendo is effectively illegally selling the switch 2

it mandates it for charging, but i dont think the mandate technically applies for other functionality.
i wouldnt be surprised if as a device it charges normally with pd chargers.
The original Switch didn’t confirm to USB-PD properly, I doubt the second one does.
