So like if Sony made a handheld game console, and had a dockable base that displayed the screen on a TV, and you could use separate controllers with the console so you could keep the handheld docked to a base on your TV, and play with a controller on your couch, or just stand the console up and play with a controller - that would be copying Nintendo?
Because if so, Sony "copied" Nintendo with the PSP Go in 2009. Here it is in action.

Sony just didn't stick them all in one box.

Sony did copy the SEGA Nomad from 1995 as did Nintendo. Vectrex used analog sticks before N64. Thing is Nintendo did it better. iPod wasn't first but sure was better than a 1998 Rio MP3 player. Microsoft had a tablet in 2002 but iPad was a better experience to use in 2010.

So by that logic if Sony makes a near identical console to the Nintendo Switch, but "does it better", and sells twice as many, then they clearly should never be given crap for copying Nintendo, right?
