A ROG Ally can do better than that. 

It runs Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (a game yourself have cited as a showcase example of a game well beyond a PS4) at Medium settings and at near 60 fps and at high settings at a still respectable 30-40 fps. If the ROG Ally had DLSS the image quality would look considerably better too (it would look more like 1080p-1440p native) than what is shown here, but this is what even just lower performing LPDDR5 can do:

Objectively Nintendo fans should be very happy with a RAM choice that is significantly higher bandwidth than what this $700 system has and they should also factor in their silicon is going to have the advantage of DLSS which this AMD device unfortunately can't utilize for even better looking image quality than this. 

The Wii/Wii U/DS/3DS era this most certainly is not. 

Rogallylife has the following settings at 30-45 fps, with performance a 3.5/5.0, when in turbo mode which kills your battery life:

To each their own, I would call that low settings and still low fps.  

Plus you have to note:

Rog Ally: 16 gb ram

S2: 12 gb ram

Rog Ally: 8.5 teraflops

S2: approx 4-5 teraflops

You can't call literal Medium Settings and High Settings "low settings" just because you feel like it. The guy is literally playing on Medium and High Settings as specified by the game itself. 

ROG Ally's teraflop numbers are juiced too for marketing purposes, it doesn't actually push 8 teraflops in a realistic sense otherwise it would be double the performance of a Series S which we know isn't true and they have been called out for that misleading marketing. S2 and ROG Ally are likely going to be similar in performance, which is fantastic for Nintendo players, ROG Ally is one heck of a device, it can run pretty much any modern game thrown at it even with no real hardware level optimization, something the Switch 2 will have benefit of.

A ROG Ally as is is a really terrific product, a version with 30% more memory bandwidth and DLSS would be an amazing little powerhouse of a gaming machine.
