Why Was the Switch Dock not Designed like the WiiU Cradle? One of the easiest things about the WiiU is how easy it is to put the Gamepad on the cradle to charge it.  So why was the Switch cradle designed the same way?

The tear down shows a very basic plastic cradle with small board inside.  

Could the Switch not have just sat in a cradle the same way and when it's in the cradle the screen goes black? Assume it couldn't just rest like the WiiU Gamepad, would have to sit on the actual connector instead.

That seems like a much more cost effective design as well as 0 percent chance of any possible screen scratches.
