I find it curious that I've never seen a video of someone controlling their DS/3DS touchscreen with just a finger.

I've used touchscreens on mobile devices even before the DS was out, and I almost never use the stylus, just my fingernail.

Recently I've been on a binge of trying out DS shooters that control the aiming via touchscreen, and just using my thumb I can hold the handheld like a normal console controller, with aiming similar to having a right thumbstick. Can't imagine fiddling with a stylus to aim, ew.

And no I don't have long fingernails, just completely normal human ones. I'm also not worried about damaging the screen - if anything, fingernails are softer than hard plastic.

Am I really the only one?
