Only because they are underpowered with old hardware. Just overclocking gives better performance but still dips below 60fps on first party titles. But they had to make those sacrifices because it's a portable console first with a tv dock. Nintendo always had slowdowns from the beginning with nes, SNES, N64. But these days it's just not acceptable to have those kinds of performance issues.

yes, adversity breeds character. did Star Wars get better when Lucas got unlimited money and green screens?

Having hardware limitations forced devs to scope their vision appropriately and focus on the aspects they actually wanted to emphasize.

My wallet and battery life thank Nintendo for these compromises.

Somebody show this guy the PS4 sales compared to the Switch. If you actually believe this, you won't believe your eyes.
