For handheld mode, yeah, that makes sense. 

But for docked mode, why limit GPU clocks to 768MHz for no reason when battery life isn't a factor?

You can't make the disparity between docked and undocked too large.  Portable mode already gets a lot of negative attention as it is (see this very thread). 

If anything I find the opposite far more common, the whole "it looks great on the small screen but not so much when you blow it up on a big TV". 

I very doubt anyone would be complaining if in docked mode the GPU ran 20% faster at the Shield's 921MHz clock, allowing for better resolutions in TV mode, where it's more often compared unfavorably to stronger TV-only consoles.
