Well it sounds like they just didn't spend the proper time optimizing for docked mode.
Which also tells us that doing that WILL require proper dev time and attention, not just a freebie.
Of course the context for this is the game is effectively launching across 3 specs,
2 of which are brand new launch platforms (Switch Dock/Portable) and the 3rd is Wii U,
now a last-gen platform which never sold well in the first place, so that's alot of platforms
which require their own performance tweaks, with very little install base between them all.
One does hope that Nintendo can patch the Dock performance issue to be equally smooth.
