Nope.

Yes it is?

While half of the Wii U's resources were dedicated to the OS and background features, only 1/4 are on the Switch.

Perhaps I'm reading it wrong or he edited it after you posted? This looks like a major, listening-to-3rd-party-developers improvement over the Wii U.

Btw, I realize form factor plays a big role in this and they'd get grief for leaving the possibility open as everyone would then suggest it is an additional required expenditure by default, but I really wish I could just add some RAM to my Switch lol... it's such a cheap and big improvement on the PC, and while it's likely not optimized yet, I really feel like a little more RAM would finish off the last of the frame rate issues on BotW.

3gb of ram is unacceptable for major third party games in 2017. Even a game like Overwatch would be difficult to port to the Switch according to the devs and its not even that demanding of a game.  But personally for me its not a big deal ill buy my third parties on PC/Xbox and ill buy Nintendo games on the Switch when i buy one.
