the whole thing with Nintendo backwards compat is interesting, like it sucks that there's no guarantee of 100% perfect compatibility but i defo think they were constrained, and their history (maybe not recently with NSO but in the Wii-Wii U era) of specially crafting emulators to work with their games and doing testing will definitely ensure that the experience is good without needing hardware. Which is really really cool.

they weren't gonna do what they did on the DS and include real Switch 1 hardware on the Switch 2, that would make it unreasonably expensive and not to mention a lot more complicated to make, because you're effectively putting 2 SoCs on a single board lmao.

Maybe that could have worked on DS hardware using extremely low power chips that don't heat up in your hand but if you're aiming for AAA games to be on that thang then you're shit out of luck

i think its also fun (from an outsider perspective, not from a consumer one) to kind of directly see the changes of management in the company lmao, i have a feeling that Wii U era nintendo would have actually pushed for nothing but perfect compatibility via planning or getting another chip idk.
