I hate screen tearing too, with a passion in fact, and I'm glad Nintendo does not tolerate it, but that doesn't change the fact that by foregoing any kind of AA Nintendo is, in this regard, falling behind a standard set by consoles that came out in 2005/2006.

They probably have their reasons. And I certainly don't make a big deal out of it, if there is no AA in some of their games. It just doesn't bother me as much. As I stated above. If the use of AA tends to make the image appear to be blurry, then don't use it. I want a sharp, fluid image on my TV.

Ironically... Screen tearing could have been completely eliminated on Switch if Nintendo was a little more forward-thinking and went with a display that had a variable refresh rate that matched the GPU.

Scorpio will have Freesync, so we just need displays to catch up on that front for that Console.

Otherwise, it's not overtly difficult to dial back on an effect and use those freed up resources to bolster Anti-Aliasing. In-fact, that is something that I find that is generally preferred.
I don't think people fully comprehend how much of an improvement Anti-Aliasing can make to a scene and how little overhead it actually has on modern hardware.
