The point of the post you quoted was warranty, you can't fix an imported Switch on warranty on most countries.There is no such thing, when you talk about the switch. The ONLY differences I know of is the power cable itself, and writing on the package. Got NTSC games and want to play on a 50hz PAL TV in your hotel room in Europe or Australia? No problem. Adjust your settings (if you even need to). You can simultaneously have accounts from ALL e-shops on your system at once. Every. Single. Switch. is. Identical. (internally, anyway. Not talking about different colored joycons.)
How do you know this? How would the repair shop know you bought it somewhere else? You make no sense.The point of the post you quoted was warranty, you can't fix an imported Switch on warranty on most countries.
Also in some countries even paid fixing services will be refused on imported consoles through official Nintendo reps, even if the actual console is actually 100% the same worldwide.
It is very much a thing. If you buy it in Japan and then take it back to your home country and something happens then you won't be able to get warranty service. Nintendo of <your country> is not going to service a Nintendo of Japan console. It is stupid, and I wish they would, but they won't.
I don't think I have ever seen one in a store.But they are common to find in stores
