The people who only use it docked were forced to pay more for the mobile functionality though. The 3DS had six variants and the Switch is seemingly only getting three so people wanting Nintendo to have just one more Switch 2 variant compared to that is completely reasonable I'd say.

Again 3DS is a poor comparison because all variants of 3DS retained the core concept a relevant comparison is if they released a version with out the touchscreen.

A very poor comparison. A 3DS without a touchscreen would make a lot of 3DS games impossible to play. That's why it doesn't exist.
I had a DS lite where the touchscreen stopped working... at least I still could play GBA games with it.

How many of the 12,000+ Switch games would be impossible to play without a handheld mode? Less than 0.01% - 0.02%, the rest works fine with a Switch Pro controller. And since a "Switch 2 home" would support accessories like Joy-Con 1 and Joy-Con 2 controllers to be connected, you could even enhance the compatibility by buying/borrowing a Joy-Con.
