We don't know the performance impact of running DLSS on the Switch 2. Running a game at 1080p, upscaled to 4k with DLSS on the Switch 2 might perform worse than just running native 1440p.
Tensor Cores are used for DLSS and the Switch 2 has 64, the same as the RTX 3050 Laptop, the lowest end ampere gpu for pcs. So Upscaling with DLSS may be quite situational for whether it's worth using or not. I doubt many are trying to upscale to 4k with a 3050 laptop.
We're going to see DLSS more for upscaling to 1080p/1440p than 4k, which will need a lot less performance out of those tensor cores, and probably will be used a lot more by third party than by Nintendo.
It seems even for Switch 1 titles like BOTW Nintendo has opted to use native 1440p rather than use any DLSS.
