It plays exactly like a home console in my house.  Wireless controllers, local multi-player with the family, digital surround, external storage via USB.  

Feel free to point out another "mobile" device with those capabilities.

The switch is more than a mobile device with TV out.  It is a shame you can't see that.  

How you use it is irrelevant.

Many people use their laptops hooked up to a keyboard, mouse, display and speakers 24/7. Doesn't make it a desktop, it's still a laptop.

I have my Samsung Galaxy Tab sitting in the Kitchen, which has a wireless controller where I can play local multiplayer with family, which outputs to the Blu-tooth digital sound system and connects to USB 20TB of external storage.

Does that mean my Tablet is also a fixed home console going by your definition?

We don't change what a devices form factor is based on usage... And that is what it is fundamentally about, form factor.

The Switch is a tablet with built-in controllers, just like the Steam Deck, Ayaneo, Asus ROG Ally and even devices like the Anbernic.

It's a handheld. It's technology is 100% purely handheld and mobile derived.

Like I said, agree to disagree.  Nintendo made the switch to seamlessly function like a GBA and a GameCube all in one box.  The switch works flawlessly for home gamers and mobile games.  Hence the name "switch."  Nintendo even combined their home and portable division into one group.  The switch is both.  Being both is literally the entire point of the console.
