None of the things you mentioned were limited in AC4 and none of the following ACs could claim to be any bigger or complex despite being on much stronger hardware. A mindless open world game like AC is very easily scalable without sacrificing gameplay.

So basically your fears have no basis in reality. If Ubi really does want to inflict suffering on themselves by trying to make it run on the Switch, that's fine. That does not mean the other versions will be gimped in any way.

AC4 was a cross gen title. of course its not going to be bigger and complex. AC Unity had a much bigger and dense world, with a very impressive crowd simulation, and smoother animations. 

 

but my arguement isnt that AC Unity or Syndicate were better than previous AC games. my argument is that a switch version can limit the potential of the new games, and looking at the numbers and math, its a reasonable and factual arguement. running the same game on a .15tf device, is going to be limiting the things that can be done on a 1.8tf or 1.3tf. 

Unity and Syndicate were CPU bound though. It's why the X1 version of Unity had averaged a couple more frames per second than the PS4 version. While the Switch GPU is far behind the X1 and PS4, it's CPU is not.
