So, the supposed 90% of handheld only users are paying an extra $100 for the docked feature that they don't even use (or even more than that for those who buy the scalper units whenever the hybrid is out of stock)? 

No. They are paying for better battery, bigger screen, and most of them also really don't know every single difference between the two, so some of them are also paying just to be on the safe side to get the better version of the thing. Also the full version have extra ability - to be played home. They may take it for handheld however combined with the bigger battery and screen and also the few times they may use the home use of the console it makes it enough reason to get the expensive one.

Out of the dozen or so Switch users I know in real life, only one of them doesn't play it on their T.V., while the rest play handheld and home console.

While anecdotal evidence is the lowest form of evidence, your line of reasoning sounds logical, but one can make anything sound logical. The data that we have at this time suggests that most people play a mix of at home and T.V.

Also Nintendo Life Poll form a little less than a year ago has

23% handheld more than 80% of the time

37% on T.V. more than 80% of the time

34% uses fairly equally (30-70% T.V.)

This has 18807 Votes

This uptick could be due to covid-19 forcing people to be home, however even then it is used as a home console and people did pay for the ability to play it on tv and did use it as such.
