DF timed the Shield tablet at 3 hours of battery life when running a PS3/360 caliber game. If it could do that in 2014, Switch should be able to have decent battery life while running faster than just 30% of a stock X1.

Which game was that? 

Trine 2.

I actually think you've already answered the mystery yourself, when you said that Nintendo wanted to stay at Wii U levels of graphical complexity. They likely just downclocked the X1 as far as they could without compromising that baseline, to maximize battery life .
