Your point is moot because there are plenty of games on Switch that are exclusive to the hybrid version and cannot be played on Lite version. The existence of said games did not hindered Nintendo to release Lite version anyway 

There is absolutely a market for home-only Nintendo console. Is that market big? Probably not, but if Lite can do fine with 25 million units sold lifetime I can't see why a TV-only Switch 2 can't survive with maybe 15-20 million units either

It would be cheaper than a hybrid, with better life and they could add a few tweaks with the economy in battery and portable components, like more providing more storage. A Switch 2 home with 512GB sold for 400 USD certainly have a good selling potential

It would be moot if making a version of games was the point perhaps you should carefully read again to get the point here are two clues the Lite retains much of the concept of the original and two Lite is there purely to create multi-unit house holds in other words make it easier to buy your kids or spouse one much like the way it wasn't unusual to have two to three DS' or 3DS in a house a TV version is very limited in offering the same thing.

The fact that only 25m Lites are sold out of the now 152m Switches highlights my point that the core concept of the Switch is the main appeal and selling point and removing aspects of that lessens appeal. The whole TV version argument reminds me a bit of the Wii HD arguments where people swore it was the way to go but it turned out the was a lot more to it than that.

2017 Nintendo's data state 20% of Switch users used exclusively as home console, against 30% that use exclusively as handheld. If gave an option to those gamers of a cheaper option of a Switch TV they would definitely get that, even more so if they are less expensive than the base Switch 2

That are multiple ways to increase hardware sales, and having different options is one of them. I mean, is there any point on a Switch OLED since it's basically the same Switch with better screen and slightly better storage? Yet the OLED is still the best selling SKU right now

Revisions are not supposed to sell dozens of millions, if they were then Sony would not release a PS5 Pro to sell maybe what? 10 million units lifetime at best?

Even a 10 million units Switch 2 TV would already justify its own existence
