It makes perfect sense. "Handheld" denotes a specific formfactor and design philosophy that the Switch doesn't abide by. It's too big and is fuctionally designed to not be held in your hands as a convenience via the kick stand and detatchable controllers.

We keep going in circles. It's gaming's analog to a lap-tablet. Consoles are the desktops and handhelds are the smartphone. It is not "a marriage of the two." It's something else.

no, you're making up own criteria.

a device that can be carried around and played in your hands is a handheld.

No, you're being too literal.

Every handheld must also be a home console because, well, you can play them all at home.
