Does it matter?

Of course. If handheld mode is played at home, this capability is not really needed and can't be the main reason for purchase.

Not necessarily.

 

If you do not have one TV and your kids are on it, the portable nature allows you to keep playing.  Furthermore, my 4 month old daughter needed me nearby while she was sleeping not long ago, so I used the remote play on my VITA to game outside of my den where I could hear her when she woke up.  The Switch would have just as much functionality in that situation, perhaps better due to running the fames natively.

 

Portability is a huge factor, I have no idea where you are getting that it is not from.  My thing with 3rd party multiplats is that they are more expensive on Switch as they do not release day and date.  So the question of will the returns of porting them at all be in place for the devs to profit off of.  The ports themselves are not the problem, the price and release date is (logical reasoning or not, it makes a difference).

 

Given that I do have a VITA, it even gives me portability option for my PS4 that works just fine.  Yes it is less preferable for sure, but it is one of a few factors that influence my purchasing decisions.
