It's portable because it's portable, you can take it out of the house. It's portability isn't the greatest sure, but that doesn't mean it isn't portable. Original 3DS also has crappy battery life and the 2DS doesn't fit in your pocket, but they're still portable.

Anyone with eyes can also see that it's portable and that one could use it purely as such.

Those are two seperate systems. The PS4 itself isn't portable.

You don't take the system out. You take a part of the system. It's not at its main power on portable form.

Yeah, sure, it has a fun option that lets you underpower it and take it with you for a bit. But it IS still a home console at its primary function. It's portability is a secondary function.

Say if you consider the Vita a controller for the PS4 cause its what i can do, its the same thing. So... yeah... PS4 confirmed portable with that logic.

 

Yes you do, the dock isn't the Switch, the screen is the Switch itself. That it doesn't run at full power while portable doesn't mean anything, the screen is a less demanding 720p and all games are playable in both modes.

Call it what you like, that's all just scemantics. What matters is that it can be used as a handheld, that's all it needs to make another handheld redundant. You've also admitted that it is indeed portable, thus can function as a handheld.

Yup, needing two seperate devices is exactly the same as what the Switch needs to be portable. How does the Vita remote play thing even work anyway? I find it hard to believe that you can play it while far away from the PS4 much like how the Wii U gamepad has limits.
