4K is overrated, power is better spent somewhere else

No. It isn't overrated.
The issue isn't so much 4k rendering though... It's the fact that there is actually a degradation in image output on 4k TV's using the Switch... And let's face it, the Switch needs every leg-up it can.

Yeah, it is just an unnecessary intermediate step to scale from 720p to 1080p and after that from 1080p to 2160p which changes the output quality to the worse in step 1.

720p to 2160p allows proper scaling: every pixel gets tripled horizontally and vertically.
