If they were to lock the framerate they should do 40fps. The people who care about this will have 120Hz displays. 

The game is >40fps the overwhelming majority of the time from the DF (and other's) footage. It seems to drop into the 30's in one area really. 

I think Nintendo really needs to 1. Enable VRR in docked mode like Sony did mid-gen, 2. Free up the CPU resources that are being wasted. 

I don't think many people would have bought their current gen TVs around the idea of getting 40fps,  it was simply not a thing in the console space back when PS5/Series X launched. Even by end of 2021 only Insomniac had dabbled in it and its still uncommon today.

People would of got a 120hz TVs for 120fps experiences but that was/is way more niche in appreciation and reserved a lot for competitive games. Comparably I think the average gamer does notice and care about wild fluctuations (40-60fps).

In other words I think there are a lot of people who do care about relative smoothness but don't have 120hz displays.

I disagree. Most TVs that supported VRR in 2021 also supported 120Hz, and VRR was a big selling point for console gamers with the new generation. I purchased my living room TV (a QLED VA panel) that year and specifically aimed for one with VRR (and HDMI 2.1) support. 120Hz was a nice addition on top of that. This has become even more true as half a decade has passed. It is really difficult to find a medium-budget or higher TV these days that only supports 60hz.
