I argued from day one that, given the large screen with 1080p resolution that "handheld mode" should be equivalent to TV mode with original switch games. That there should be no technical reason this shouldn't be expected. In fact for me it was a let down that it wasn't delivered. I think we see Nintendo's reasoning for not making this standard initially now. It was a prudent business decision.
holding down the default resolution of prior console games emphasizes the improvements (in handheld mode) for switch 2 native games and motivates switch 2 game purchases and game upgrades.
Users initially see lower battery drain with their heavily weighted original switch game libraries.
As always Nintendo is two steps ahead of everyone else.
