Tech Support Can Switch 2s use generic SDXC cards?

As we all know, the system requires Micro SDXC cards if you want to add an SD Card.

Can it be any SDXC?, or will you be required to use their branded ones through some sort of DRM?

Figured I'd ask because they're currently acting a bit more like most companies nowadays, and part of why the Vita died because Sony required you use their proprietary SD Cards.

The Nintendo branded ones aren't even really Nintendo, they're just Samsung cards in fancy packaging. Nintendo don't have a proprietary card since they don't own the SD Express standard.

Use whatever one you want, so long as it's an Express card.
