The Switch 2 isn't really getting "Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 1" type ports though ... that was a game that was significantly reworked to be able to run on a Switch 1 and side by side other versions would look or even play significantly different in a lot of areas. See also things like Dragon Quest XI. 

The Switch 2 isn't really getting "Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 1" type ports though ...YET!

We are still in the first year of the Switch 2. Hogwarts Legacy was release when the Switch 1 was six and a half years old.

Are you sure that the Switch 2 will handle crossgen PS5/PS6 games well in a few years without significantly reworked versions?

I don't think this is going to be a problem, because PS6 (and better hardware) will use the extra resources for path tracing and advanced raytracing. Disabiling them + going for low settings, fps, resolutions etc should be enough to make them playable on Switch 2 level hardware. There will be some games that will take extra work to port, but I think most won't require complete reworking, even past the multi-year crossgen period. 

Compared to past generational jumps, PS6's specs when ML and RT are ignored won't be a huge leap vs PS5. PS6 is also reportedly launching with a handheld version that should be weaker than PS5 in rasterization.
