There is a good reason, you just don't like it, but if you were running their business I doubt you would do any differently. 

A Switch Pro that allowed games to run at 60 fps and potentially even some games at 4K (and there is a video that shows definitely the Switch can run 4K games) would be a serious problem for the Switch 2 because then you'd have a bunch of stubborn people saying "well, I already have 4K and 60 fps on my Switch Pro, why should I buy a Switch 2". 

After Wii U and 3DS, that's the last headache Nintendo needs, Switch is a massive success but by the same token now the real work begins because repeating it becomes harder (ask Iwata). 

I would do the exact same thing if I was in Furukawa's shoes.

But for people who want the extra performance, hey it's there for you really, it's not some giant mystery how to overclock a Switch these days. You can get 60 fps and even higher resolution in a bunch of games if you want it. 

You're seriously overstating the impact of this. The PS4 Pro has not stopped the PS5 from being a big success so why would it be so different here? Maybe it would cause a small negative impact but a serious problem? It'd not be anywhere near that bad.

The fact is though that even with Marika over clocked. Switch 2 will be a significantly bigger jump them ps4 pro to ps5. Again he's also using mods and with mods we have seen games from 30fps to near 60fps like Starfield for example on pc. Then they patched it with a 60fps. With Nintendo games for example even with the switch over clocked they could just add a few bells and whistles and that's it. So him saying they would gimp hardware to worry about hardware that's gonna blow switch of the water is a ridiculous theory.
