The biggest problem with 3rd party ports on Switch...

Good point, OP. Switch ports are a lost cause to begin with : more expensive, inferior versions, late on the market and portability is not a thing anymore. There's a lot more value in PS4/X1, which also have truckloads of games that won't come to Switch as E3 clearly showed.

I think you've missed the whole point of portability. It's nothing to do with value for money, most people who work won't have time to sit at home and play through Persona 5, Monster Hunter World, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Dragonball FighterZ. They want them on Switch so they can fit them into their schedule while out on the go.

Strange. I thought that most people in the west tend to drive to work, hence not playing games outside. It's when they're home, during evenings and weekends, that they can relax and play.

Well it does help with travel.  I played Disgaea 5 in the morning while everyone was in chill mode on my beach trip on my Switch.  It also comes in handy if I want to play during my break at work or if I visit family overnight.  Not to mention the times I played for 2 and a half hours waiting for my night classes to start with BotW (obviously I am finished with Night Class now to be doing most of my gaming at home, but the point still stands).

 

With that in mind though...I just effectively remote played Horizon Zero Dawn on my break through my wifi hotspot on my phone with remote play on VITA, played all of the RE7 "Not a Hero" DLC at my parents during an overnight visit over their wifi with remote play, and the entire Alfheim section of God of War's main story over wifi with remote play.  So portability with my PS4 games is very feasible as well.

 

Granted it is much more convenient on Switch (by far), considering that most of my game time is at home before work or over the weekends at home, the VITA is also an effective option.  For those who spend more time away from home though, I would have a hard time not recommending the Switch.  I love mine to death, it is just has a disadvantage when it comes to the late release and price of 3rd party ports (which unfortunately is going to hurt western 3rd party support in the long run).
