Weird how it says it doesn't support tabletop mode. Can it not connect to normal joycons? Did they remove bluetooth? Would seem a bit weird to take out that functionality. Though it makes more sense on why it can't be used docked if they took out bluetooth to save money.

On the plus side at least they have a decent dpad.

The Switch Lite can connect to normal Joy-Cons.

This is what it says about Game Compatibility: 

"Nintendo Switch Lite can play the games in the Nintendo Switch library that support handheld mode.

For games that do not support handheld mode, players can wirelessly connect compatible controllers (sold separately) to Nintendo Switch Lite.

Just look for the “handheld mode” icon:"

So... it does support tabletop... why do they say it doesn't then contradict themselves underneath. xD

I am baffled why it doesn't support dock then, I mean I know physically it might not fit but they could always release an adapter or new dock or something, my best guess now is that the cooling isn't good enough to run the clocks inside high enough for docked. Removing dock functionality shouldn't reduce production costs at all.
