Your post is a little confusing. If you haven’t bought anything from them since the 3ds, then how did you put a screen protector on your Switch 2?

I can’t understand why they still ship a plastic screen. Surely there are other ways to keep glass from exploding that don’t involve a top plastic layer.
I got a screen protector first thing for mine. In a matter of months any unprotected screens will turn into shit.
I guess this is typical nintendo, haven’t used bought from them since the 3ds.

I meant that prior to the switch 2 I only had a 3ds. I’ve been out of the loop on nintendo stuff during all that time

Is glass exploding even that much of a problem?
Dropping an iPad doesn’t even break the screen all the time and when it does it’s garbled.

Not sure, but they anticipate a lot of children having this device in their hands, so they’re going to design it for that, perhaps even over-design it, just in case.

There are two major advantages to what Nintendo did. The plastic top significantly increases shatter resistance. Look at Jerryrig Everything's review to see, it's almost impossible to break the screen now via blunt force, which is a big problem for people with kids. Surface scratches are far better than a shattered screen.
The second advantage is that you can put a glass screen protector on it and get the best of both worlds. A replaceable glass surface that is nice and hard. What I think would have made it better is if the console came with a pre-installed glass protector that was replaceable.
