720p native on a small screen I still think is waste of resources. You have DLSS, use it. 720p should be for docked mode. Even 1080p native I think is a waste of time unless you have a game that is extremely easy game for the system to run.
FF7 Rebirth is 4K/30 on the PS5 ... Square-Enix can just cap it there and make future games (FF17, FF7 Remake Part III, Kingdom Hearts 4) from that which will scale fine to Switch 2.
They can't realistically think that going *higher* in graphics is feasible at this point ... for what? You're not getting any extra sales that way if 16/7 Rebirth/Forspoken already didn't give you any growth (but decline actually). You're not going to match GTAVI unless you are willing to go into probably $400+ million spend ... that's ridiculous. That whole path way has no future for Square-Enix, frankly for no Japanese 3rd party really.
Even if you can build the FF series back from where it is now (looks like FF16 and 7Remake are struggling to get to 5 mill) to a healthier say 8 million with Switch 2 + PC + XBox, like I'm sorry but 8 mill isn't going to support $300 million dollar+ budgets (before any marketing is factored to boot).
