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. 

So did the Wii U... which failed. Also did the Vita as companion device for PS4 games... which also failed.

 

Many people seem to value the added portability and independence of the Switch by removing the necessity to keep close to a base station.
