In the dock, sure, but in all likelihood, the only boost it get from docking in most games is resolution and, in some GPU-bound games, a more stable framerate.

Lighting, shading, textures, effects, geometry, etc, will all still be in the Wii U's ballpark.

Why? On my PC I can downgrade most of those things, why can't the devs put a lower level on some/all of those while undocked?

They can, but it means more work for developers, so I think it's more likely most will focus on simply boosting resolution and maybe stabilizing framerate when playing on a TV. 

A x2.5 boost will take you from 720p to 1080p, but that doesn't leave much juice left for other improvements.
