They are wrong. The Switch console itself is USB-C standard compliant. The dock has a slightly smaller plug to make it easier to dock / undock the console. 3rd parties try to replicate the smaller plug but don't get the tolerances right causing a miswiring.

I can’t charge my phone with the Nintendo Switch charger, it switches on and off repeatedly and doesn't charge. And my other USB-C chargers don't negotiate the power needed with the Switch so it charges very slowly if you don't use the included charger.

My phone charges fine with a Nintendo Switch power adapter.

In fact, I am doing it right now.

Output on the adapter reads: 5v@1.5A/15v@2.6A

I charge the Switch console just fine with a PD USB-C charger. PD is very negotiable and the Switch only supports a few voltages so your charger must support the same voltages.

As far as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), every proper charger is supposed to support the exact same list of power combinations from 0 up to whatever its max wattage is.

The switch dock demands 39 watts, which implies 15 volts, but the switch itself will negotiate any voltage when standalone.
