Well. No. It doesn't make the "Switch" name irrelevant, you can still "Switch" between form factors... The same game runs on all those devices. - Which was always the argument I used when I suggested that Nintendo could release a mobile and fixed-only TV SKU of the Switch... (Which is now coming to fruition with the Switch light.)
Obviously I ended up being correct on my predictions a few years ago that Nintendo would build devices that didn't Switch, much to the chagrin of a few users who said I was fundamentally wrong as it would undermine all of their advertising efforts.

Money talks and building more cost-effective devices that target certain demographics always made perfect sense.

Switch between form factors? I'm sorry I don't know what you mean. My point is the word "Switch" was chosen because with that system you can switch from TV mode to portable mode and that's all that means. So the Lite cannot switch and my point is if the lite cannot switch and is a portable system only why couldn't the future hypothetical Switch Pro be a docked only kind of system that ALSO does not switch?

Knowing that the Switch standard that can do BOTH portable and docked, will continue being in production with an even better battery life.
