Some people like a lighter weight and different grips. Lots of cases have a kickstand where you can prop up the deck and use your favorite controller.

Can’t it also dock to a TV or monitor?

If you have a dock. Maybe I've been unlucky but I don't recommend the official dock. Every time I want to use the deck in a docked mode I have to rewire everything in the correct order to get the dock to output a normal resolution. Wire it in the wrong order and you either get no output or you get low resolution output with weird artifacts.

I have the thin silver JSAUX one and don't have an issue like that, but sometimes it refuses to charge until I reseat the AC adapter.

This is the dock I have. I've never had the issue you mentioned, but I also don't take it on the go a lot.
