The conversation was about capacity.

Most major games are going to be coming out on Series S for the next several years, by the time support for the S stops it will probably be pretty late in Switch 2's lifespan and by then other limitations like the CPU will probably be the bigger issue.

And capacity is just one aspect.

I am curious about those MS rumors on next gen hardware.  Hard to say what MS will do and the impact it will have.  

It was the aspect I was responding to; so long as major games continue to support the Series S with 8GB for games, Switch 2 having 9GB (maybe more in time) shouldn't pose a problem, and given how long crossgen lasted last time, by the time Series S support ends, it won't matter as the next Nintendo system will be around the corner and major games will be out of reach of Switch 2 anyway.

Switch's 12GB pool of RAM is perhaps one of the least limiting aspects of the hardware, as I'd expect stuff like the CPU to become a hurdle long before RAM capacity.

Could be right.  I'm on the fence with 12 gb of ram and how it ages over the next few years.  I found the 5070 incredibly disappointing.  I wouldn't buy a GPU less than 16 gb.
