The needed battery capacity isn't by itself a cost problem; it's the bulk and weight.
What the category needs to do is take a hint from VR and AR headsets and add an optional extended battery/carrier fanny pack. Make the handheld gadget light enough with enough battery for an hour and a port to connect a wire from the fanny pack, which won't need SOA battery tech just cheap rechargeables for 3-4 hours.

(Only partly in jest - Early Toshiba Libretto Palmtops and Sony thin and light VAIOs had optional long life battery packs. Depending on the system, it might be possible to retrofit existing designs. You just need to let go of the SWITCH mindset.)
