So GTA V never came to the Switch...

I have a handful of open world games for the Switch. Some run decently (Zelda BotW/Witcher 3). Others run pretty badly (Saints Row the Third last time I played it but I think it's been patched).

I just don't think the Switch is a good fit for open worlds. I think Saints Row 3 runs worse than it did on Xbox 360! Plus the Switch lacks analog triggers for driving.

That is poor optimisation. The Switch is far more powerful than the X360 and has plenty of far more demanding games running very well on it like the two you mentioned, BotW and The Witcher 3. Assassin's Creed IV runs flawlessly on the Switch too for example.
