I use my switch in portable mode near exclusively, 1080p SDR (and usually the games run at way lower than that) are not pretty on a 65” 4K hdr OLED tv. I think most people buy the switch because of the portable experience and rarely use it on a tv unless playing Mario party or something like that.
That may be your experience, my partner and I use it co-op on every game that has it and watch each other play singleplayer, so it’s almost never out of the dock. I imagine many families with multiple kids and not enough budget to get everyone their own would do the same.
If the console is to be 99% of the time attached to the living room tv, the inbuded screen matters almost zero.
That’s how I use mine. Only time it leaves the dock is when I have to change a tiny microscopic game wafer and hope to God I don’t drop the thing.

‘Most people’ don’t have 65” 4K HDR OLED TVs. Also, from my personal experience a ton of people use the dock functionality extensively.
