I feel like we're splitting hairs here.

Yes, the Switch 2 can handle PS5 ports, in a more intact state than past handheld ports of console titles.

Yes, they also still require settings tweaks just to account for the fact that it's physically impossible for a small device running off a battery to compete with a big box plugged into the mains.

These two things can both be true and aren't mutually exclusive.

Agreed.  And a lot of this is because game engines have come a long way in regards to scalability.  

On a semi related note, this is also why I do not personally believe in generations anymore.  A generation meant new engines that required new hardware.  Today, not so much.  Plenty of people are still using 8 year old GPUs, like a 2070.  That is three cycles behind what Nvidia sells today, but it plays the same games as a 5090.

IMO, exclusives are dead and so are generations.
