Nintendo's own data has already been posted showing that only 30% of Switch owners played primarily in handheld mode. Myself and many others bought it to use primarily or in significant part as a console. Nintendo has also stated on the matter that total docked vs undocked use was roughly 50-50.

This is from 2017, when switch was at around 10M or so sold. Now there are close to 90M so the ratio will have changed. However there is no recent research.

As for the PS3 graphics, It may have some graphical effect more but overall it is in the range of the 360/PS3 graphics. It is nowhere close to PS4 or XB1 let alone PS5 or XBSX...

The statement of 50-50 is from later, in 2018. Do you have any data at all to support your claims that its almost entirely bought as a handheld now?

And you're shifting the goalposts, it may not compete graphically with PS4/Xbone but you only have to look to games like Crysis Remastered, Metro Redux, or Alien Isolation to see the Switch version significantly outperforming the PS3/360 versions.
