You're vastly downplaying the problem. There's a reason a class action lawsuit went forward with tons of evidence backing up that it wasn't simply the user's error in properly maintaining the joycon. I've bought a joycon and had it started drifting within weeks before, even before I had kids. The sticks were just poorly designed, simple as that.

I'm not claiming it's a standard maintenance practice, most people won't have the spray, and aren't accustomed to needing to needing to maintain a joystick like that.

But it is truly a simple, cheap, easy fix for almost all cases of joystick drift (not just on joycons, but all controllers). I really think nintendo should have worked to spread the knowledge, and provided free cleaner to people with issues.

That was not the problem in "almost all cases." Seriously, look up the class action lawsuit regarding it.
