A patent from Nintendo suggests that they're working on a magnetic joystick system, aka hall effect joysticks, which would solve stick drift.
A patent filed by Nintendo suggests that they’re working on Hall Effect style joysticks for the Switch 2 that would eliminate stick drift almost entirely.

It wouldn’t be the default, obviously… did you read the first part of my post?

As a Steam Deck user, even the thought of a 50% dead zone makes me nauseous.
