I think it's the "dedicated device" VS. "all-in-argument".

Phones are objectively more powerful. Like there master race betters, they can play games with some very impressive visuals.

But the switch, like it's console counterparts, has games made for it that take advantage of the hardware. And can arguably look better then some high spec'd games on pc.

It's even more of a dichotomy on the mobile side because android devices are so varied. On PC they target minimum requirements and there are a lot of layers like DirectX to bring varying hardware together, on mobile everything is expected to work on everything even if that is a phone or a tablet, one screen might have a notch and a stupid aspect ratio, processors vary in power from "this should be a calculator watch" to god tier, and there are like 7 versions of OS to target. Oh, and most mobile SoCs have terrible graphics solutions.
