Why are handhelds often seen as inferior or not as important as home consoles?

Look, I get it, not all of us have unlimited time and money to spend. So we spend them on what will get us the most fun, or at least, the most guaranteed fun.

I used to watch a lot of good movies, now I don't have enough time for them, so I got very picky. I only watch what I think will be a great movie, and I get cranky if the movie I choose to watch turns out garbage. I know that I am missing out on lots of great movies because my selection process isn't perfect, but what will I do? I can only resort to watching guaranteed quality, and leave the rest to when I am retired or reincarcerated. 

That's totally fine. Just don't wander around and tell people handhelds would suck or something or that they only offer inferior Gameplay. If you haven't tried it, just don't talk about it. I also don't talk about Xbox lately because I don't have an Xbox and I don't plan on getting one. There may or may not be great games on the console, I simply do not know.
