It looks exceptionnal, but there is not PS4 version running next to it, and a closer look makes notice that there is NO shadow at all, lights and ambiant effects also seem nearly absent.
What seems too surprising here is the resolution of the textures which is unusual on the Switch.
Maybe there are still deep potential of optimisation on the Switch, and this would reveal that PS4 and XBOX1 are often poorly optimised and dev are lazy on these machines.

The very first assertion you made is shown false 30 seconds in.  The shadows are soft, but they are there.

And no, this isn't the most spectacularly amazing UE4 game of all time but the game was made by a small team on a small budget.    It's hardly laziness.  Also, diminishing returns have made gaps like this less visibly distracting.
