That's not what it says. It says that of Switch users, 20% plays it in TV mode exclusively, 30% plays it undocked primarely and 70% plays it in both modes regularly. The Switch updates that data as soon as you go back online. There is no other spin to it, it's exactly what it says and people are using it exactly as advertised.

First off - basic math: 20 + 30 + 70 = 120%. So you're not even reading the graph correctly. But furthermore, they actually explain their figures on the chart.
The actual numbers are: 18-19% with 80% time used in TV mode, 30% with 80% usage or mode in handheld mode, and 51-52% that don't use their Switch over 80% of the time in either mode.
"Figures for Nintendo Switch gameplay for registered Nintendo Account users, gathers via the Internet. Showing hardware where play time for either docked or undocked modes exceeds 80% as "gameplay in XX mode is primary". Source: Nintendo
So if 75% of Nintendo Switch users use their Switch in handheld mode 75% of the time, how would the chart look any different? it wouldn't.

I never added the total dude, they do overlap. If I said differently, I correct it now. Around 30 percent of Switch owners play undocked for more than 80 percent of the time and about 20 percent of switch owners play docked more than 80 percent of the time. But in between that, it shows that actually more people play it in variation. It does not say that the handheld mode is the overwhelming way of how people play. If they were, referring to your last comment, they would not have made that graphic that way and instead said outright that handheld mode is the dominating form. There would be no logic behind it otherwise.
And it all comes down to your own point, that it's a handheld, which is shown that it's not being used as primarily. Show me otherwise. What does the marketing sell it as then?
I'm really not going to bother with this any more. The argument was simple and now it got sidetracked into something way different.
