I'm not sure I'd agree, I feel like they look in the same generation in the way that, say, the Dreamcast was in the same generation as the Xbox and Gamecube despite being significantly less powerful.

Games on Switch obviously don't rival the most technically advanced games on PS4, but they use most of the same graphical techniques, just usually at lower resolutions and in less complex scenes.

Well done ports from PS4 to Switch like Nier Automata, Doom 2016/Eternal, or Dying Light don't look a generation apart, nor in my opinion do the best looking games built for Switch like Metroid Prime Remastered or Luigi's Mansion 3.

Nier looks like a ps3 game. sorry but platinum is small dev that doesn't know how to make impressive looking games or have the resources. Doom is sub HD  and half the framerate that's not stable the difference is similar to early ports of some 360/ps3 games. To me it differently  looks a gen behind. Like just compare red dead 2 to totk they don't like they belong in the same gen at all. Same goes almost every single genre.

Nah, those games are all built to PS4 spec and retain almost all the same graphical features on Switch; PS3/360 ports of early PS4 games had those graphical features stripped out. On Switch the core visuals are there, just with cutback to resolution and settings.

Red Dead 2 to TOTK isn't an apples to apples comparison as you're comparing one the very best looking PS4 games to a game that's not really one of the graphically best Switch games, besides which the art style is completely different.
