Loads of people were saying that including myself. It's a mobile chipset there are no surprises here. Maybe some denial by die hard Nintendo fans previously but that was it.
Zelda issues maybe cpu related. In both portable and docked modes the cpu's run at the same speed 1020mhz but really in docked mode they should push them just a little higher to give docked mode a clear advantage. Maybe 1.2ghz. However there remains the issue that memory bandwidth is close between both modes yet docked mode can drive the gpu at 2x the speed with a lot more data being moved. Nintendo could tweak the cpu speed but not create more memory bandwidth.
Before Switch portable mode was 3x Vita but now with the high performance mode 4x Vita which is probably what Zelda is using.
As previously stated Switch is a very low performance home console that has only slightly more powerful than wii u however it does bring cpu performance in line with 360 and ps3 where as wii u was much weaker than those.
Zelda isn't performing badly in docked mode because of poor programming its performing badly because that is its performance level. The game is pushing the hardware beyond its capacity at times.
