The thing is getting rid of the TV output is pointless anyway, if it has the same USB Type C port, that basically means it has an HDMI output.

You'd have to go out of your way to gimp the system, and you'd save no money in manufacturing cost really by doing so.

Even without a dock it would have a HDMI output port (by virtue of the USB Type C port), why not allow people to use it?

Because removing some staffs from Switch itself that are required for playing in docked mode but they are not just for handheld playing can also lower costs, because Grip, Dock, cables, separate and attachable Joy Cons also have effects on cost.
