Personal opinion, I think the Series S has superior ports, because of better fps.  Switch 2, often, has cleaner image.  But for Pragmata, RE9, Rebirth, etc...  I would take the superior framerate.  

But the gap is closer than most, including myself, thought it would be, which is more your point.

Yeah if somebody prefers higher frame-rates at the cost of everything else then the Series S versions are the better options (when there is a framerate difference from SW2, some games don't have one), but I think if somebody is very frame-rate sensitive the Series S won't be (nor the Switch 2 really, unless they really like to play handheld) their platform of choice anyway. 

The casual/low-spec gamer probably would notice the image-quality difference (at sub-1080p resolutions) more than (stable) 30fps vs 60fps. As an example, performance mode for Rebirth - on the Series S, just doesn't seem to be worth the image quality downgrade requisite to get it there and the difference between it and Switch 2 on graphics mode are marginal.

It's only once internal resolutions exceed 1080p where I think casual gamers will more likely notice framerate differences than resolution ones. 

Certainly depends on the game.  Based on videos RE9 drops from 60 fps to low 30s, and no vrr in docked mode, that would drive me crazy.  Rebirth, based on demo, hits low 20s, which would drive me nuts.  I would take the Series S in those cases.  Not sure on the others, I don't follow too closely, because I go PC.  

On PC i often sacrifice resolution for fps.  1440p/120fps > 4k/60fps.   

I also thought Prime 4 at 1080p/120fps was vastly superior to 4k/60fps.  

I could be the outlier but I find resolution overrated while fps is fantastic.
