I mean it depends on what standard you want to hold it to; personally, I think Digital Foundry's approach of judging the software according to the hardware it is running on makes the most sense. As a 7 year old mobile device, Switch obviously isn't going to be trading blows with PS5 and Xbox Series.

I agree with this.  For a 7 year old device it does well.  But it is a 7 year old device.  For me it's age is showing.  And a lot depends on how someone plays.  Low resolution on a small screen (e.g. portable) isn't a big deal at all.  A 30 inch TV, not a major deal.  It only becomes a problem on large screens.  I've played switch a lot on a 65 inch screen...  720p is awful.  

Edit

Part of the issue is the switch isn't even trading blows with the ps4, much less the ps5.  The hardware has aged, like all hardware does.  It doesn't help that TVs just keep getting bigger and bigger.  My next set might be a LG OLED 77 inch.    

Viewing distance makes a big difference; my Switch is hooked up to a 42 inch 4K screen, but I sit a good 3 meters back from it so it looks fine.

But the Switch version sells like hotcakes. That's why they bothered with it.

Poor saps, that's the worst port I've ever seen. 

As someone who owns the game on both Switch and PS5, I found it serviceable. It's not pretty, but its playable. There are much worse ports out there; the launch version of Ark Survival Evolved on Switch, Arkham Knight on Switch, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor on PS3, Borderlands 2 on Vita, etc.
