The PSP could connect to a TV, does that make it a home console?

You don't need multiple controllers to have a multiplayer experience. There is air hockey on smartphones where you can have two local players. There are also games on Wii U where you play multiplayer games with a single gamepad. You can't just tie local multiplayer and multiple controllers together as if they live and die with one another. 

Also, with an external screen and large external battery a home console would technically be able to be played anywhere, but calling it a portable console would be disingenuous 

Again pulling a straw man. Yeah, you listed local multiplayer experiences suitable for handhelds.

But syncing multiple external controllers on the same system is only possible on home consoles and you would have a local multiplayer experience suitable only for that configuration

How come when I google connecting multiple controllers to android phone I get lots of results then? Is that a straw man argument too? You can't just define a home console as being something that can have multiple controllers connected to it. If that is the case, android phones are home consoles too. If you were then to say "ok, it's not about the controllers, it's about the multiplayer experience", well android phones have that too.
