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.

Why the hell would it have to be 4K to have any relevance?  My switch games look great on my 4K tv... not sure why that is necessary.  Believe it or not, there are many people that would prefer to play their games on their tv’s instead of a tiny 4 inch screen.  

The reason why Nintendo shouldn’t release a new dedicated console separate from the switch is it would divide their software efforts.  Nintendo is much better off releasing their games so that they are compatible with all their devices.
