Okay, now Nintendo can port this over to the Switch, please -- or we can wait for homebrew to do it.

the Shield uses the same SoC as the Switch, they should be able to run the same code

I wasn't able to find information that verifies your assertion of the SoC being identical to the Switch.

I did find out that it is in-fact the nVidia Shield TV:

Which means... The GPU is theoretically at-least 2.5x more powerful when compared to the Switch's undocked mode.
The CPU is 90% faster.

If it is a Pascal chip, we could be looking at even more performance gains as Denver brings allot to the table and the GPU is 50% faster than the Shield TV.

So whilst accurate that they can run the same code, the Switch will be compromised on the performance side of the equation...
However, the Xbox 360 could run Original Xbox games via emulation... And the Original Xbox could give the Wii a run for it's money...
And the Switch is vastly superior to the Xbox 360, thus it should have no issues emulating consoles from that generation.
