Unfortunatelly, it is indeed run-of-the-mill downport, there's nothing in it that even suggests anything other than scalling back almost everything possible, just like in other previously lauded ports. As I previously said few times, fiddling with ini files alone (which I've done quite a bit) will gave you fairly good idea what you can do with TW3 to make it run on low specs.
As for art - they already have all the art, eveything is set in place in that world...all they would need to do is reshape it to something like in those reworked screenshots or to something different, maybe Borlderlands style, whichever...and in this day and age when mods with better qualitty assets than vanilla versions are popping all over the place for free and in world where you can find quite good artist for more than very reasonable prices, no, I don't think it would be very expensive.
But since they don't need to do it, as shown by success of other muddy and blurry Switch downports, it comes down to better ROI vs something that stands out...and they've made a choice...shitty from perspective of what this port could've been, but sound business choice.

It's not as simple as just turning down settings. If it was that easy they'd get one guy to do it in an afternoon instead of having to contract a whole separate studio to work on it.

Never said it's as easy as turning down settings - though turning them down in ini files will get you all the way to even less than third of minimum recommended specs, while still looking fairly good.
What I said is this is the least effort portjob, which translates in least money spent. And given that they've sold 20 million copies and there's 35 million Switches out there...yeah, I'd say they could've gone an extra mile.
