3DS versions all had the same core feature that is a poor comparison if Nintendo released a version with out a touch screen then maybe, Permalite no offence to him is not the primary target audience they've cultivated for this era he want's a more traditional Nintendo home console those days are gone hence why Nintendo never bothered with a TV version for the first Switch, the platform's identity is clear you can use it as a portable only or home only platform but it's core concept is bringing these together which is reflected in the marketing and features. OLED improves visual fidelity on the portable side thinking that is useless highlights a lack of understanding of the products appeal as a whole as it improves the overall concept instead of chopping parts of it out.

The core concept and main purpose of the Switch 1 + Switch 2 is 

  • to sell games (both first party and third party games)
  • to give a good experience as a platform
  • to have the same development platform for handheld gaming and tv gaming instead of splitting development teams

The core concept of the Switch 1 + Switch 2 is NOT to force people into using both modes (handheld mode and TV mode), when they are only interested into one of these modes.

So why not offer a "Switch 2 lite" for "handheld only" gamers and a "Switch 2 home" for "TV only gamers" additionally to the normal Switch 2 for people interested in both modes? All three groups can play the same games (in the mode they prefer), nobody is paying for hardware features they'll never use.... instead they can use the saved money in buying Switch2-software.
