So what happens if you aren’t a subscriber and press the C button? [...] “You would be able to find out about the NSO subscription there and get a sense of some of the functionality,” he said.

Oh that's awesome. Everybody loves when they accidentally press an in-game button that hijacks what you're doing and loads a store page. Now you have a physical button that does the same!

It'd be one thing if the button was simply non-functional without the NSO subscription, but this is Nintendo so it has to be shitty lol

These buttons are almost never inactive when it makes sense. There’s an old joke about things being difficult to use when engineers making design decisions, but we’re in the much worse paradigm where marketing executives make design decisions. Unfortunately a good user experience might lose a potential sale.

Like the Amazon prime video button on my TV remote control. Every fucking time.

I hit the Netflix button on my bluray player and it’ll stop playing the movie I’m watching to open Netflix. Ofc outside of decoding blurays the device is underpowered and the Netflix app hasn’t been updated in years so it’s a very slow loading process too.

My Shield remote has a Netflix button. It's one of the biggest buttons and I swear one of the easiest to press as well. You can bump the remote and Netflix pops up

And the funny thing is that after some updates in my TV, i could uninstall the (Netflix, Amazon, Rakuten) apps from it. But guess what. When you push the button, it opens the apps store to the page of (Netflix, Amazon, Rakuten) app to install it. I mean how much idiots must they be?
