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.

Even just doing it this way though is still a massive undertaking, there is nothing run of the mill about taking an open world game that struggles to hold 30fps even on PS4 and getting it to run on handheld device. Conversions of this magnitude are extremely rare nowadays, I can't even think of the last time the industry saw an official port this ambitious.
