I think it's resolution, the eye can't differentiate after 4k. As for refresh, I think 60/120 is more common for consoles, while pcs can get the 144hz benefits.

You won't waste your money with a 144hz, just do your research and find the common ground between cheap and great. You're gonna be spending money and many hours staring at it.

The dock on the Switch moves everything to the big screen via HDMI, same as a traditional console. Also, you can buy multiple controllers (normal 'Pro' controllers and/or joycons) for the Switch. I'm not familiar with the charging issue you mentioned but that's neither here nor there.

The disk system still has a hard drive you can download to, so it will work either way. I'm also not familiar with heating issues, but larger consoles do tend to run warm. A cooling addon is likely unnecessary if it's kept in a well ventilated area, but it couldn't hurt.

The PS5 should easily last you as long as you're looking for it to do, but as you guessed, I'd say the next generation of consoles is a ways out still.

If you have a controller for your PC, I'd highly recommend emulators for old consoles. You should be able to comfortably play PS1 and below given your PC. Older indie titles should also be fine. If you want to get into rhythm games (and also improve your mouse aim for MOBAs), Osu is free and beginner/potato friendly.
