The older switch could  be over clocked as well just not as much as Marika. In the end though the over clocked doesn't produce miracles like Soundwave states. It's really more about the extra programming that the mod community does to get better perfomance, at much lower resolution. but if we are talking about just over clocking the switch it's get a nice boost in 5fps-15fps boost depending on the game, that's about it hardly anyone would call that a pro version it's laughable. 

As for why ninetndo didn't release pro, honestly it would have been a mistake for them, a pro version would not be in demand like a ps5 or Xbox series it's not new console. And just a better version of the switch. It would have demand for sure but just like the ps4 pro it would probably 20-30% of switch sales. Nintendo should have released switch 2 earlier cause based on the pro specs the switch 2 jump would not be worth it so Nintendo did the right thing.

You're flat out lying here. 

The overclock on Mariko produces way more than 5-15 fps boosts. It can double the frame rate and/or increase resolution, even though Switch games don't have resolution settings generally, we can see this in DOOM Eternal and other games (see again the video I posted) the resolution will increase in undocked mode because the game has dynamic resolution, so the game automatically sees it has performance overhead and increases the undocked resolution. It's not even specifically programmed to run at this higher resolution undocked, but the game does it automatically. 

Ask yourself why you are so invested in this stupid agenda that you flat out lie, I can produce 10+ videos that show performance increase well over 5-15 fps increases in frame rate. 30 fps to 60 fps in a lot of games, it can run games at 60 fps like Persona 5 Royal that don't even run at 60 fps on the PS4 Pro. 

You have this dumb agenda that you won't move off of because your feelings got hurt that someone corrected you that Nintendo is not in the Wii/DS era anymore hardware wise. 

The "overclock" of the Mariko is what the chip can actually do too, it's not some extreme performance case, the Mariko at those clocks can run comfortably at the same temperature the OG Switch runs at with its stock clocks. That's why the battery life remains 3-4 hours and the fan is still running at below 50%. We can see this clearly in Santiago's videos (temp, fan speed) and it's well established that the Mariko still gets over 3+ hours at the higher clocks. 

Not only that the chip can run games at 1440p-4K resolution, there was another video that proved that also. They were planning a 4K model, you don't make a 4K dock and alter a chipset to allow for 4K display if you weren't. That's fact of the OLED hardware, there is no arguing that. The OLED model is selling great too, so the whole "well Pro wouldn't have sold great" doesn't make any sense, it would have been the OLED model. 

Lol you are the one  invested in a  lie, as usual.  we have videos  DF a reputable source testing 7-8 games with the same setting with a over clocked switch and guess what the results were much smaller then 5-15fps mean while you posting videos with extreme over clocks, mods with much lower resolution , and only in portable mode where the console has to remain plugged in. To frankly get your stupid point that nintendo gimped the hardware cause a system coming out in 6 years would be a bigger jump.
