Also impossible to achieve a ps4 level portable without it overheating, having an acceptable battery life and being affordable to the mass market. Maybe in 5 years but impossible in 2017.

Yes but I have considered the Switch as a home system as it tries to be that too. For clarity's sake, as a portable it's a decent system that does the job (except for the short lived battery though).

But as a home system, or the only home system Nintendo is offering right now, I hold it to home system standards because If I decided to buy it, it's as a home system that I would use it.

In my opinion, Nintendo should have added extra processing power in the dock thing so that you can have extra power when playing it on your television.

Well, to be fair, the Switch does run 2.5 times faster in docked mode. Hence why you get 720p in games like ARMS and Mario Kart 8 when portable but 1080p when docked.

In order to push PS4 Pro type resolutions you'd need some pretty hefty processing muscle in the dock itself, which would jack up its price considerably. While there may be a few customers who would pay extra for such a premium solution, I don't think it would be a popular enough option to really be worth the investment on Nintendo's end.
