You can't have it both ways.
The reason the XBox Series S is able to display graphics "better" than a XBox One X despite a XB1X having higher teraflop performance is because the Series S has a more modern feature set, so even if it is only 1/3 the teraflop performance of the Series X, it can run the same games.
But when it's pointed out that the Switch 2 will have a similar kind of massive improvement in being a more modern architecture (probably better actually than the PS5/XBX/XBS) than the PS4, the excuse becomes "well that's not really a big deal, it's still a PS4".
Yet for the XBox Series S of course it gets given the benefit of the doubt. How convenient. A more modern feature set makes a massive difference, it can even basically push one console (Series S) into what's considered a different generation from another (XBox One X).
I also would not be so sure that something like the XBox One X can't run modern games either, the Pro models for the PS4/XB1 are stuck basically having to run PS4/XB1 versions of games with just resolution/RAM improvements, they were intended to have exclusive software built specifically for their Polaris hardware (which is a lot better than the PS4/XB1's GCN2 garbage). No one's made a game expressly for the XBox One X ... I bet it can run a game like Starfield at 720p probably just fine but since it gets no exclusives apart from the XBox One, it'll never happen (Sony/MS have also basically cleared all stock of these models).
