There have been many post-launch patches for Cyberpunk on PS4/XBO and DF typically use the latest available version of a game for performance capture.

The Switch 2 will likely also improve with post-launch updates, as every other version of the game did.

Yes there was some post launch PS4 patching to get it  in decent enough shape to be put back on the store but apart from that CD Projekt basically gave up and  decided to (and I don't blame them) focus their optimisation efforts on the platforms that could better support the game going forward in Sony's case that being the PS4 Pro and PS5,so from my viewpoint rather than compare a game that was bad enough to be taken down from the store over it's issues. the Pro is a better alternative when it comes to a comparison.

this isn't me trying to throwing shade on the SW2, since I feel a PS4 Pro v Switch 2 comparison would have shown off the Switch 2 in an even better light since from what I have read apart from resolution the SW2 is ahead of the Pro in many of the tests.

I wouldn't say they gave up on it; last gen continued to get patches for years after release, and it did improve somewhat, there's just only so much you can do with hardware that has 5.5GB of RAM for games, a mechanical hard drive, and a CPU that was weak even in 2013.

My guess is they compared it to base PS4 because (a) it's by far the most popular last gen platform, so that's where most people experienced the 8th gen version of the game, and (b) PS4 has been the primary point of comparison for Switch 2 since it was announced, as the two aren't miles apart in terms of raw power, even if Switch 2 has a number of advantages in terms of features and efficiency, as Cyberpunk demonstrates.
