I's not, it only has one button and thus cannot perform as a joycon.

It upsets me because there's no reason to lock a Pokemon behind a toy, that's just anitconsumer

But not surprising since eNintendo has been doing this with their amiibo shit

Colosseum also ended up being the only way to obtain most of the missing Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokemon (notably the Johto Starters and Legendaries) until FRLG and Emerald made up for it, but even then you were better off getting them from Colosseum since Emerald only allowed you to choose a single starter (which required completing the entire dex, mind) and the Legendary Beasts were nigh impossible to find in FRLG without having the luck of the gods, especially since nothing in the game even hints towards them roaming in Kanto.
And don't even get me started on Ho-oh or Lugia.

They didn't make Z because at the time, Nintendo was probably telling them to cut that shit out so they can focus on Switch Development when they already had their plates full with rushing out SM for the anniversary deadline.
And then they realized there was no way they could get a proper Switch Game ready for 2018, so they ALSO had to hit up Niantic to help make a filler game, leading to the A Team developing three different games all at the same time while making sure the B Team didn't fuck up too bad with ORAS and later USUM.

You cannot use this as a normal joycon, this would not be compatable with a game like Odyssey or Mario Tennis, this $40 ($50?) add on will be used exclusively for LGPE, it's a ripoff.

I'm a sucker for gimmick controllers and I'd buy the Pokeball Plus on that regard alone. But since it's got only one button (maybe two if you can push the stick in) it'll only be good for Let's Go. It probably won't even be compatible for PKMN2019.

Cool idea, but they definitely weren't thinking when they made it.

It's not really about obtaining mew.
I don't neither think that it's overpriced, because it looks well shaped and designed, it's from a famous brand and it's expecially used for that game (maybe even for the next games who knows), and has the "pokéwalker fuction". Before we say "hurr durr overpriced" we have to test the quality of the material. If the material is high quality then it's ok, but if it sucks then you can complain about it of course.
Anyway i would like to buy it if i will get lgpe, because it's cute.
