i, as an 8 yo kid when the original 3ds was released, did in fact use my stylus half-extended. as my hands grew larger i kept extending it more and more. I distinctly remember the day when i started using it fully extended for the first time. I get it, it's weird, but it's a niche memory that i like to have

The wii remote is a stylus. Imagine if you could play DS games on the original Wii and you use the Wii remote to do all the pointing where the A button counts as you tapping on the screen wherever the cursor is. If you don't believe me there was a Wario Ware game that literally did that so.

Another thing to remember about the Stylus is that many of us first used them as children. Meaning I’m willing to bet the original DS stylus and ones after were designed around children. Although the most comfortable and best stylus by far has to be the Nerf DS foam case Stylus. Which was large and covered in foam making it super firm interior and soft outside. It was literally the only stylus I could use for super extended periods of time.
