You are ignoring the economics of this issue. 

Nintendo has a deal with Nvidia that Asus, Valve, etc likely aren't able to get because 1. they will sell an order of magnitude fewer units (Steam Deck sold 1.6 million in 2022) and 2. they are smaller companies with less brand recognition limited to the x86 platform. Nintendo is about five times the size of Valve and 25 times the size of Asus in net-worth. The Switch will sells 10-50 times as many units as a Steam Deck/ROG Ally in a given year. 

There is also the matter that an APU + discrete GPU costs (both in terms of money and power) a lot more than the unit package that is an Nvidia Tegra chip. These companies don't go ARM because  Linux for ARM (and Valve's client) is in its infancy. Other platforms don't even support it. 

Also DLSS is hardly a Nintendo exclusive. There is a reason why Nvidia is dominating the GPU market despite being far more costly -- it's the feature-set that Nvidia GPU's have, whether we are talking about DLSS (for gaming) or CUDA (for GPGPU compute in video editing, 3d-modeling, and Generative AI.) 

DLSS is gonna be useless for switch 2 on most games. people keep talking about DSLL and they don't even know how it works.

Most of the people on this site are just gamers, and it would be odd if they knew how to make a game on DLSS.
Don't rely on YouTube.

I wish you were familiar with the specs of the next gen switch and could explain like a game developer how the DLSS doesn't work.
