Why wouldn't the NX be able to capture the "wider audience" by itself if it just has a good battery life? Thats really the only difference and just have a NX smaller version that is the samething as the NX in every aspect just with a smaller screen. Similar to 3ds and 3dsXL. That way, they won't need to put in all the extra effort.

If the Switch isn't meant to be taken on short trips and etc, then why did the trailer show it like it was? I am pretty sure Nintendo wants to make sure it has a good battery life otherwise, the trailer doesn't make any sense.

Most people don't charge their ipads as frequently as you suggest. I am not sure in what line of work you do that it requires people to bring their chargers but I havn't seen anyone bring their chargers with them to things like parties, get togethers or really anything that involves going outside. What you are saying is the opposite of what they showed in the trailer as far as what its meant to be. The trailer focused on portability as well as being in the house, not just in the house as you are suggesting. And again, we don't know if they are going to make a successor to the 3ds for sure. 

Also not to mention that the reviews aren't gonna be happy if it has a short battery life and we all know how bad the press can get.

Because the is no one universal execution that can capture every type of consumer, Switch may sell to console and portable gamers but maybe not to those more into mobile for example.

Only two of those were short trips tbh and one of them was near enough a home environment, I'm sure they want good battery life as well but if it's not replacing 3DS as thought it may not be their priority to have battery life comparable to device that are much more portable so I wouldn't be surprised if it's around 3-4 hours or so.

You completely missed the point iPads are mainly used in environments where charging if necessary is not much of an issue, I've seen many people bring their chargers to work and so on so I guess you not seeing is down to your own activities as when I'm at gatherings at a friends house the always a a few people with chargers etc... The trailer didn't focus on being portable it only introduced the console and the concept being a preview trailer, the concept of switch is a home gaming experience that you can customize to your liking with controller set ups as well as being portable.
