There are 132 page listings for just VA Panels on the Panel Exchange website.

Well, only 1250 of these 6000+ VA panels are still in production:

A modern handheld needs touchscreen functionality, which reduces the number of VA-panel displays to 32:

Then the display has to fit in a handheld formfactor, so let's filter to a dispay size of 6'' - 9''... which reduces the number of VA-panel displays to 4:

All of these 4 panels are objectively worse than the Switch 2 display.

3 of them have a 800x480 resolution (much worse than the even the Switch 1 or PS Vita).

The last one with higher resolution has no backlight, which throws us back to Gameboy displays.
