For the ESLers out there, the verb here should be do instead of does.

"What does Nintendo Switch have in common with iOS 9.3?" will work too, right?

Just fyi his correction is right but somewhat pedantic: no one would bat an eye at that error in a work email.

This isn't pedantic; it's of the level that it "sounds wrong" and will be immediately noticed and distracting (for a brief moment) to any native speaker, not just pedants.

I'm a big pedant and I agree with the parent; it's not that bad. It might mark an uncompleted word order change for a native speaker "what does A have in common with B?" as opposed to "what do A and B have in common?" but it's not that distracting TBH.

I'm curious by the idea that your co-workers/bosses aren't making minor grammatical errors on a regular basis.
