It's kind of amusing to see people get puffy over the use of the word "gimmick". It's like some kind of projection for an inferiority complex.
A gimmick is anything used in advertising and marketing to set a product apart and generate attention. Idiotic and useless features can be gimmicks. Innovative and meaningful features can be gimmicks.
Get over it. It's just a word.
On topic, I think a cheap, stand-alone home console with the same power as the Switch but without the portable features would sell very well. I know that I find such a product much more appealing than paying for portability I care nothing about.
It wouldn't surprise me if such a device materialized eventually, as with the 2DS.
