... never heard of Remote Play?

Yes, I have heard of it.  Sounds not much more useful than using the Wii U Gamepad in the next room over from the Wii U console.  Not sure how or why you think this compares to the portability the Switch is offering away from it's dock.  Also, with the Switch, you are paying one price for the dock and the portable aspect.  By your method, PS4 - $249-$299 + Vita - $199 = $448-$498 to be able to play your console games on a handheld somewhere within range of your console.

Quoted from your own link:  Remote Play has a limited but undefined range. This feature is optimal when both the PlayStation 4 and the PS Vita are located within the confinements of the same WiFi network at the time of gameplay.  But using remote play outside of your network might result in connectivity problems, or latency 

 

And you can add in the cost of the PSTV if you want to play your Vita games on the TV.

   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!
