Tegra ARM-SoCs aren't PC-based, they are mobile-based!

The majority of the Switch library are ports of iOS- and Android games.

Many of these games are also available on PC and partly in the PS-store and XBL Marketplace, but the basis for most of these ports will be an ARM-version.

Tegra's GPU is based on Nvidia's PC graphics tech, which is why most Switch ports actually come from the PC, not iOS.

That's like saying all devices with Snapdragon-SoCs with Adreno graphics are based on AMD's PC graphics tech... doesn't matter much.

If there is already an ARM version of a game, chances are high that this version will be the base for a Switch port instead of porting a x86-version.
