Nintendo apologists are not the problem here.
The problem is that it is a tiny device and the battery has to compete for space with a 720p display and hardware capable of running PS3.5 caliber games.
I would estimate that the Switch + a USBC cable will cover 95% of likely use-cases for gaming on the go.
Maybe this is America-centric of me, but I've been on over 20 flights in the past two years. Every airport waiting area has had outlets to plug in and charge. I think pretty much every American Airlines flight has USB or power outlets in every seat. Many Delta and United flights have them too from what I've heard. The Switch will handle most airport/airplane scenarios just fine.
It will handle a day a 2 hour round-trip work commute of public transit just fine.
If you're like Karen, it will handle being brought to a party for party games just fine.
It will handle being brought to a gaming convention or simmilar setting just fine.
The only thing i can really think of where battery would be a problem is a long road trip in a car without USB. A simple adapter will fix that though.
If it were 1993, the battery life might be an issue. But it's 2017 and we live in a world that is pretty accomodating to people using power consuming mobile devices.
