Sega nomad was Nintendo Switch in the 90's

No, my argument is the switch as is out of the box is a home console and functions just like all other home consoles. It also functions as a portable out of the box. It does both, again out of the box. So it is a hybrid. You can either accept that or not. No skin off my back either way.

At the end of the day it is all about intent.  Nintendo since the development of the Switch clearly and specifically designed the Switch to function both at home and on the road.

It doesn't have all the features of a modern Home console.
I.E. No LAN port. - Rather it relies on technologies designed around mobility. Aka. Wifi.

The Switch is a mobile device that comes with a few "dumb" accessories to charge and output to a fixed display, that to me is not a Hybrid, that's clever marketing.

If the Switch was to convert from a clamshell form factor to a tablet form factor, that to me would be a Hybrid device.

If the Switch actually was augmented by the Dock to increase performance by supplemental processing and memories, then that also to me would class it as a hybrid device.
