And if they made a smaller or larger version of the Switch, then that would just require more accessories, which would just make more of a mess and overall confusion. Just imagine regular joy cons, XL cons, lite cons, XL dock, lite dock. That would just be too much I feel.

They wouldn't have to make regular joy cons, XL cons and lite cons. 

An XL-Switch would have a bigger display by reducing the bezels. The height of the device would stay the same, so the normal joycons would be compatible.

The handheld-Switch would also connect to the regular joycons, either to allow motion controlled games or the joycons in the regular grip-controller for TV mode.
The Switch Pro controller would also only be in one version, compatible to all Switch models.

The only different accessory would be a fitting dock for the Switch version. And that would be even less confusing than chosing the right recharging dock for your 3DS model (even the recharging docks for the 3DS XL and new 3DS XL aren't the same because Nintendo changed the position of the power connection).

The main purpose of the Switch ain't switching games between tv-mode and handheld-mode all the time, that is only a secondary function.

The main purpose of the Switch is to be a good platform for video games and to reach as many players as possible... handheld-only gamers, tv-only gamers and people who enjoy both.

Sorry, but I'm having a hard time imagining how these different versions would look like...

And the Switch manages to reach as many people as possible by being a platform that can be played anywhere and any way.
