How much do you care about the graphical leap between consoles at this point?

Very much. The leap from the Wii U to Switch was massive and if it hadn't been that way, I would have skipped the console.

I respectfully disagree. The 3DS to Switch was massive (only mentioning this because Switch is a hybrid). Even looking at 3DS and Wii U is of course a massive difference. But the Switch seems like a mid-gen upgrade (like a PS4 to PS4 Pro) to the Wii U on a specs level. It's about Wii U-level in portable mode, maybe a little better. And then it is undeniably superior to Wii U in docked mode. 

In a sense, Switch is kind of like the GameCube to Wii all over again as far as specs go. The Wii was basically just a clocked-up GameCube with more memory.

Switching gears, I think the reason the graphical leaps seems to be diminishing returns at this point is due to several factors. Frame rates and resolutions have been a bigger deal in console gaming from the 7th Gen onward than they ever have been. It takes a lot more processing power to run most games at 4K 60FPS. In the past, graphic fidelity itself (and memory for bigger worlds) was a big focus. Now it seems to be on resolution, frame rate, online fidelity, AI, and the like.
