Still doubting that the Switch can be used as a portable console? With that logic, the 3DS ain't a portable either, it also had a battery life of 3 - 5 hours, depending on the games fidelity: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Nintendo-3DS-2DS/FAQ/Hardware/How-long-does-the-battery-last-/How-long-does-the-battery-last--242771.html

Less demanding games (f.e. the next Ace Attorney, Prof. Layton, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, visual novels...) will probably have a better battery life than similar games on a 3DS XL.

 

 

 

Nailed it.

The Switch isn't flawless but people are complaining about things that are standard at this point. Costs in the range of a Vita/3DS at launch, has similar battery life to PSP/3DS, is near the size of other mobile devices, etc. But suddenly these things are unacceptable. 

PSP's battery was removable, that was not the standard.  You had the choice of buying higher captacity batteries or can switch out one if you have a spare.
