It only makes me sad when every discussion about the switch these days seems to derail on about how so much bad it is as if that mattered really at the end. What matters is how engaging a game can get to you and how performance is part of this, in the case of the topic for this thread.
BotW isn't a flawless game (and it is true there's too many people who think that's the case), but it is a years old example whenever you want to compare performance of open world games on Switch. Xenoblade 2 is another years old example. Since these were released there's both better performing and worse performing games with similar characteristics on Switch. One can be quick to notice that there's indeed hardware sided limitations that show when the game, even when most of it has been optimized for performance, shows stuff like FPS drops, like the infamous Lost Woods moments of BotW. Some others related to texture loading, in games such as Xenoblade 2. But then there's performance issues that are solely tied to how well crafted a game is put together.
We already went past this when the initial base release of BDSP dropped to name a fresh pokemon related release, it was an incomplete game that had performance issues, which were eventually patched mostly with day 1 patches and so. I'd not be surprised if Scarlet and Violet are also meant to be "complete" with such patches. It is very clear that most of the performance issues on it currently as of v1.0 are not tied to hardware, but legitimate incompetent developing.
Back in the Sword and Shield release days we have to remember all the issues these games caused on release, including stuff like corrupting save files even. Should games release like this on cartridge? Absolutely no. And I'm also not a hater of Pokemon, I like it very much. But it is true Game Freak isn't the best coder and they still refuse to collaborate with other teams apparently, unlike how BotW was helped by the people of Xenoblade to make maps and stuff.
I conclude saying that it is understandable criticism really, to complain about the current status of Pokemon gen9 base release on a cartridge. I also think it is fair to look down on switch and its specs, love it or hate it. But it isn't ok to downplay when others point at better performing games (even if these too have their own flaws at some parts) with similar characteristics (mainly being open world) as if all these other Switch games were completely unplayable and not engaging due to performance, which is obviously not the case for most.
Sorry for the long post.
