Sorry but I think you're being shortsighted and not completely honest with yourself.  You would not have Breath of The Wild (as it is) on the Wii or 3DS hardware, you needed POWER for that. Plain and simple.

As long as they look well and they are engaging to play most people doesn't care about how advanced the tech behind is, BoTW is running on a WiiU which is supposed to be close to Ps3/X360, I didn't need a powerhouse to play one of the best videogames ever done. Better tech is great, but at what cost? should Switch be way more powerful and cost 500$ just so the tech enthusiasts are happy but nobody else buy it? No it shouldn't, the console is impressive enough as it is, every single person I have seen experiencing the Switch for the first time have a similar reaction, a very good one, games look beyond awesome for a handheld, and at this level they look good enough on a TV (games like MK8D or Arms are good prove of that) so that's everything that matters in that regard, people doesn't care if you are using subsurface scattering on Link's skin.

And yet millions and millions of people have gone out their way to buy GTA V, The Last of Us, Twilight Princess HD and Zelda WW remastered just for the small improvements in graphics.  And I'm sure a huge chunk of those people had already played those games.

Seems to me that you're feeling content with the level of performance that Nintendo is providing right now.  But I'm almost a 100% sure that a few years down the line, if Nintendo releases a Switch 2.0 with 5X more power and a BOTW 4K running at stable 60FPS, you might be tempted to buy it.
