Your observation is pushing the notion that it's competing more as a portable vs home consoles which is untrue it's competing fully as a Hybrid that's where it sits in the market that's what my post is highlighting to you.

No you just assume that 50% is more geared towards handheld when in actual fact the data tells us flat out it's being used as a hybrid device like intended with people using it according to their gaming habits, using it in portable mode doesn't really do that much for your point either because many households have shared TVs so undocked mode comes into play then as well.

He misquoted the data. Nintendo's statistics showed that 30% of people spend 80% or more of the time in undocked mode, while 20% spent 80% or more in docked mode. The remaining 50% had smaller differences than a factor of 4, and were clumped together. But that still implies that there are 50% more people that use it primarily as a handheld, than there are people that use it primarily as a home console.

To claim that the part of the market it competes with is only the "hybrid" market is silly. Does it not compete with the PS4 because the PS4 isn't a hybrid? Of course not. The Switch and the PS4 compete... In the same way, you can make observations like how (according to Nintendo's own stats), users use it more as a handheld than a home console.

I think you should read the posts again because I said it competes with PS4 as a hybrid no hybrid market was even mentioned that's a creation of your own there.

This is the image itself:

Nothing here shows the middle group being more portable focused all it says is that over 50% used it as both in other words its hybrid concept furhter backing the point that it's not seen as either home or portable but as intended a hybrid device that caters to varying gaming habits.
