Reddit is going crazy about the Switch 2 using "encryption", to lock out third party docks, but as far as I can tell that's misinformation.
Nothing in the logs looks like encryption, it's just a proprietary protocol. Manufacturers clone those all the time!
Not following standards is not nice, but saying this dooms third party docks or has any DMCA implications is nonsense. In fact the article already points out one compatible third party dock.
