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

Okay, so I'm going to stop arguing here because now you're just completely inconsistent. First you say that the function matters so much that what it is marketed as doesn't matter at all. Meanwhile, in the second paragraph you then suggest the Switch having the ability to be docked (a function) doesn't matter at all because it's not "integral" enough to the experience. 

So PSP can count because of the same reason Switch doesn't? Pick one.  

Neither of them count, that's my point.  Having something on a dock isn't a function. Even if you just leave the switch in the dock with no power and not being used, the switch is technically docked. A dock is just something that something else sits in. The dock itself doesn't function, without the Switch it can't do anything. It's like connecting your phone/ laptop to a TV and then giving 50% of credit to the cable.  

It does add USB ports so you can use multiple wired controllers, it also adds HDMI port that the system itself doesn't have. 

I don't think the dock is supposed to do anything without the Switch, what's at the heart of the matter, is what more you can do with the Switch when it's docked.
