The Switch platform problem just happens to be very similar to the trans athlete problem.
The answer to those problems is the same as the, what to do with woman who want to play professional sports problem, which we've already solved.
You create a new category for everything of that specific sort because there's too much of a difference to compare/compete directly.
Switch is a (handheld console) hybrid.
Problem solved.

What is a defining feature of a home console then? I'm not sure I understand your bolded paragraph. If you gut a PS5 and replace it with different hardware it will not play PS5 games. 

As far as your example with the punching bag. You using a person as a punching bag doesn't negate the characteristics that make them a person. Food doens't stop being its respective form (plant, fruit, animal) just because it is being used as food. It is both food (it's use case) and its categorised anatomical/chemical state (Fruit)

labels such punching bags or game consoles are human construct derived from functionality. You're not just looking at intention, but also design. The skin of a cow, is just that.. Until I design it into a leather glove. This design, combined with intention can't be ignored. Otherwise my glove is not actually a glove, its just cow hide?

In a world where every device is multifunctional, where is a label drawn if not intended use and design? When is a calculator that can play games not a game console? Or what about my TV? The whole idea of "dedicated" function is in itself drawn from design and intention. 

After reading all this I changed my mind. Everyone can tell your opinion, so I'll give my opinion. For me Switch is not a home console, handheld or a hybrid, for me the Nintendo Switch is a Iwata vision of how Nintendo can skyrocket the sales with a new console and a new concept, so he reached to a conclusion that Nintendo first have to reach the sky with the "New Nintendo System"..... in the end Nintendo Switch is a version of a Helicopter Blackhawk. Case closed.

What about the switch lite? Thats a 100% handheld..

I agree 100%. Even though the Switch lite can be made to display on a TV it is a handheld device. That was its intended purpose and the way the vast majority of lite owners use it.

As to the Switch "intent" argument, take those upset about guns in any manner, and try to change their mind by explaining the intent of guns.
I'll give you a hint as to the outcome. Intent won't mean jack to them.
Then ask them how much they enjoyed Duck Hunt...

*The only intent that would matter to them, is what each individual user of the device decided to do with it.

As someone else has said in this thread, if there was extra hardware inside the dock that worked together with the Switch, then yes you could consider it a handheld/console hybrid. That is not the case however. A passthrough box/cable can not turn a handheld into a hybrid. If you believe Switch is a hybrid then you must believe PSP is a hybrid. 

Does the Switch come with everything in the box, or do you need to purchase the battery or dock separately?

As long as it comes with all that, right from launch, it's a (handheld console) hybrid.

If two car manufacturers developed a car that could transform into a boat with a push of a button, but only one included the transformation button with the first sale package, would we discount/disregard the other one being a hybrid just because it didn't come with it at the start? I just don't understand this logic or reasoning. You can't just disregard features because you didn't get everything you needed to access that feature inside the box. 

Smartphones are computers

PC just means Personal Computer. Which was a term created to set personal computers apart from minicomputers or mainframes.

Laptops are also personal computers

I thought it was common sense?
