The lack of software support makes the Deck less 'hybrid' than the Switch in my opinion. Steam games aren't made to automatically detect if you're playing docked or portable, not allowing for easy configuration swaps when switching. So a Steam Deck will actually default to running games at 720p even when connected to a 4K display. Switching resolutions from 720p to 4K at the same graphical settings would be an awful experience when newer games cannot run at even 720p 60fps on the Deck. But when it's a game that could easily run at 1080p or higher that I want to dock for multiplayer, such as the Jackbox Party Pack games, it's annoying. As strictly portable use, the Steam Deck is on the bigger and heavier side. Not enough that it's unusable, but enough that more often then not, I'd rather pick up my Switch to-go or just forgo bringing a gaming device altogether and just use my phone if there's nothing I feel like playing on Switch. Also I find d-pad controls on the Steam Deck very uncomfortable, for example trying to play Tetris Effect Connected on it, while I can play Tetris 99 for hours on my Switch fine.
