I theorize that it actually CAN support "docked" mode too and that they just don't have any plans to release a physically compatible dock station, but if somebody modified their existing dock for it, or tried using a third-party dock, that it might still work. 

Yeah I think hardware inside is compatible, but I'm sure the firmware will check if it's a lite model and not use dock if it is. Especially if their are thermal issues with running it at the higher docked clocks.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they removed the ability to operate in "TV mode" considering they would have to design the Switch Lite to handle the additional power draw and dissipate the additional heat that operating mode would generate. The Switch Lite might not be capable of operating safely in "TV mode". Designing it in such a way would definitely save on costs.
