I think that's a good point, which highlights a drawback that affects the console portion of the system that wouldn't be there under normal circumstances. Limited power draw can affect the systems potential performance.
In other words, Switch would have likely been more powerful if it was released only as a console.

I also consider Switch primarily a handheld for that reason, among others.
Though I don't rule it out as also being a console despite it having such a drawback due to its portable nature.

If your not willing to rule out Switch as a console, then what about the Sega Nomad or the PSP. Both could connect to the TV and perform similar to a Switch. This is my point. If you say Switch is a console, you have to say the Sega Nomad and PSP are, for the sake of consistency and i think that is a fair thing to say. 

The reasons the Switch is different from a PSP in that regard (Idk about the Sega Nomad) is that the Switch is a fully functional home console right out of the box, whereas the PSP is still missing key home console features even after buying a peripheral that allows it to be displayed on a TV.
