I posted that earlier (this thread moving too fast liao). It's not polygon doing the tests, they are just quoting someone. Net of it is that the joy-con hardware design is causing the problem. It is not something that can be fixed by firmware update.

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con issue may be caused by controller’s design
http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/6/14836194/nintendo-switch-left-joy-con-cause-design-fix

Teardown aficionado Jon Downey, who goes by Spawn Wave Media on YouTube, took apart both Joy-Con controllers in a video he posted yesterday. Aside from the known differences between the two units — the right Joy-Con has two extra internal components, an NFC chip and an infrared camera — Downey was expecting the controllers to be relatively similar inside. But he found that while the right Joy-Con included a dedicated, stand-alone antenna component for its Bluetooth radio, that particular piece doesn’t exist inside the left Joy-Con.

Downey did eventually find the Bluetooth antenna inside the left Joy-Con, but he discovered two issues with its design that likely contribute to the connectivity problems that players have been having. First, the antenna is printed directly on the controller’s circuit board; it’s not a separate unit inside the device. Second, the antenna is located beneath the controller’s shoulder button and next to the housing for the controller’s joystick. The housing takes the form of a sizable metal box protruding beyond the board, and because of the shoulder button placement, the area is usually covered by fingers. All of that could block or weaken the Bluetooth signal.

Haha. At least there's a fix. Solder wire. Easy enough to do

Not recommended though. Apart from void warranty and all that, his fix only improves a bit, not completely fixed the problem (even the better designed right joy-con also has weak bluetooth and can have signal drops). Nintendo needs to do an official replacement.
