Not exactly, since it was designed with a system with a very different and older archetecture in mind and the move to the Switch likely happened late in development and split a team which was't very large by modern AAA standards to begin with..  With added development time just for the Switch they might well have gotten it to 1080p or improved the visuals even further.  Many of the 1st party games this year were probably orginally in development for the WiiU and their graphics suffer for that.  A third party 8th gen multiplat with no 7th gen, WiiU, or handheld versions is a very iportant test.

So you're saying Nintendo's programmers are incompetent?

No.  I'm saying you can't judge a system based solely on 1st gen software designed for very different architecture and likely moved quickly to be year 1 releases.  See what Nintendo does with a game they developed from the ground up for Switch, with no rushing and no split teams, and then call it a benchmark.
