Well, as they successfully reduced the price by one third for the Lite, I can see why Nintendo believes there is a market for it.

For a TV-only Switch I am not so sure. While handhelds are a market and nothing current is in that market besides Switch a Switch Lite at a lower pricepoint to further dominate that market makes sense. In the TV-console area though there is competition. And I don't see what a non-portable Switch on TV offers over a PS4. The hybrid Switch allows to seamlessly switch between TV and handheld, this is something else. For a TV-only Switch something additional is needed.

Basically it would allow them to reduce the price of the unit, much like the portable only unit.  Also, you can’t play Nintendo games on a PS4, that is how it differentiates.  The games.  

At that point though, they may as well just release a new console altogether and make Switch their new handheld device to go alongside it.  A TV only Switch would almost have to be 4K compatible to hold any real relevance without portability, and given the power of the current Switch, you may as well just release a new dedicated console at that point.

Your logic works well on paper, but fails hard in practice in this case.
