Not at all. That would be like the Switch being able to play WiiU discs. The Nomad was a portable Megadrive/Genesis. Not its own system.

I get what you're saying. The fact that the Nomad flopped whereas the Switch most certainly succeeded can probably be spun into a number of narratives.
Did the Nomad fail because

And Sega Channel, roughly a quarter century before GamePass.

Battery and availability were two big factors, yeah. In a age people had to spend money weekly on batteries for their portable devices, how long was a very big deal. And to keep to release from very important markets for Sega like Japan and South America was dumb.
But if you ask me, the biggest reason of why it flopped was mostly the excessive amount of hardware Sega was releasing. One year before they released the 32X, the same year they released the Saturn, recently they also made the Sega CD and the Game Gear and Genesis were still getting some support, and that is not counting the accesories each of these hardwares were getting. It was way, way too much for cosumers to keep up and just alienated the fans, besides being a nightmare to invest on marketing on all of these at once.

I own a SEGA Dreameye. You're speaking to the choir.
I didn't know that the Nomad could connect to the tv. Interesting...
