I should have been more clear. My bad. 

When I say poor reasoning I don't mean its a terrible excuse. I mean to say that he didn't think it through. Even if the device is portable, it does not mean that it HAS to be portable. It may double as both a handheld and a console, but that does not mean you have to use both. There are already some games that are portable only because it uses the touch screen only. In the case of Destiny 2, If they needed the system to work solely as a home console to make it work smoothly, they could certainly talk to Nintendo about making that arrangment. 

With that said there could be complications down the line, mainly because of the vocal Nintendo fanbase that would draw the same conclusion and complain its not portable. Not to say it couldn't work portably, but I imagine it could have problems. 

So I think its certainly a decent excuse, but the reasoning itself is poor to me because it is rather short sighted in my opinion.

I'm sure nintendo requires all games that run on dock mode to be able to run on portable mode. Kind of their whole message with the console, I could be wrong though. 

Yeah, you have to support both docked mode and portable mode on the Switch unless you're using touchscreen controls, in which case you're allow to support portable mode only.
