Some time fairly recently, Bloomberg had it from reputable sources that Nintendo was going to release the "Switch Pro" this year, but due to the government-hyper-overreaction-to-the-WuFlu-induced "chip shortages", the Japanese game maker couldn't source the parts. However, their sourcing department had already ordered an entire warehouse's worth of OLED screens!

Scrambling to figure out what to do, the idea came up to retrofit the current Switch hardware with these fancy screens-- and that's what they went with, hence why the Switch OLED is such a goofy product. It turns out that the dock itself uses HDMI 2.0-- so, 4K/60/HDR capable. Undoubtedly, those "Pro" docks were already manufactured, and just got shoved into the Switch OLED boxes-- "here you go!"

Of course, Nintendo has denied these rumors, and people like John Linneman are offering a countering theory regarding the docks, that they are just "future proofed"-- which makes no sense to me, since the inevitable "Switch Pro" will ship with its own dock in the box anyway.
