Yeah, Switch pointer controls were pretty YMMV, simply because the joycons themselves aren't nearly as reliable in that regard as the Wiimotes were.
The Wiimote worked with a pair of IR blasters to locate your screen. Joycons have no idea where your screen is. In that light, that they work as pointing devices at all is actually rather impressive.
