No, they're doing to because there's no technological reason to have separate hardware platforms anymore, and a portable home console is the most forward thinking way to trojan horse that idea. It's not a combination of a handheld and a home console the same way a laptop isn't a combination of a smartphone and a PC. There's also no reason to believe that a handheld Switch (as well as a home console) won't come later.
Nintendo is acting out of cunning. An act of desperation would have been a safe and traditional home console.
