I think the point was you are looking at technology purely through the lens of processor speed. But technology incorporates a lot of elements of the design, not just raw speed.

While processor speed may have withered, there were other innovative and cutting edge aspects of the design.

What was cutting edge about the Switch?

It was innovative and a great product, but I'm not sure anything in it was cutting-edge from a technology perspective.

Something doesn't have to be cutting-edge though to be innovative, fun, well designed and a great product.
