you're conflating the word you're personally using, "rival," with the word that was actually used, "comparable." i don't think this article is claiming the insides of the switch 2 will match the ps5, more so that with the help of DLSS and some of the already basically confirmed leaks, it can look like ps5. 

i'm also sure that eurogamer and VGC didn't have time to pixel count or look at things in an incredibly detailed way. 

not to mention, the FFVII remake looks incredibly similar on the ps4 and ps5. looking at a screen demo would not reveal heavy differences even if you looked at those two in two separate rooms on two different days. it's splitting hairs at that point.

So if DLSS can take significantly weaker hardware and massively improve the visuals...  why is nobody using this amazing tech?  Steam Deck, Rog Ally, Legion Go, etc?  

It's exclusive do Nvidia GPUs because you need hardware that's only available on them. The Steam Deck and all handheld PCs use x86 AMD or Intel hardware. The Switch 2 is going to have the rumored Tegra T239, an ARM chip. Handhelds PCs don't use ARM chips because I'm not too sure if Steam would work too well on ARM. The Steam games are made using the x86 architecture so for it to work you'd need a translation layer, meaning you'd lose performance.
