Would you rather have the Switch or a powerful conventional Nintendo Home Console that competes with PS & Xbox?

That's how it would likely end up to be honest, you'd get a portable version that ran at 720p, and a home console that just played the portable version at 1440p-4K on the big screen. If you were lucky maybe you'd get a few tweaks to draw distance, shadows, etc but the core experience would be limited by the bones of the portable version, as such it'd be a tough sell to those who care about graphics as its game would look significantly less pretty than PS/Xbox.

Bigger devs would probably make a reasonable effort to improve the games overall presentation on a powerful Switch 2 home console, but I think there would end up a fair amount of devs that would do very little for the home console version if they were allowed.

So you're mostly right I'd say. It would make it a much harder sell to those who want a powerful Nin home console, because they obviously want the benefits of owning a piece of hardware like that, and only getting those benefits some of the time may not be enough. At that point, buying the hybrid instead might make more sense for them, so then why even make the powerhouse console?

Higher rendering resolution/frame rate/better DLSS/view distance/physics/AA/RT/LOD...more power, more goodies, and that all pretty much autoscales once put in place.

Even without going into other things, that alone is worth a lot.
