I'm actually a bit worried about the next switch's GPU (assuming Nintendo plans a switch pro/2 as next major upgrade).
The embedded GPU line of Nvidea switched from being focused on entertainment systems to be focused on "embedded" AI. E.g. cards running the calculations for self driving cars and robots.
This not only means they have different focus in their software stack but also that in the hardware they come with tensor units and similar.
Lastly they seem to be more expensive then the previous maxwell based ones (back when the switch was released). But this is hard to say as the prices I take for come from they AI boards.
But I don't think Nvidea is interested in making custom chips for Nintendo. (At most some variations of the Chips they do anyway).
And if the switch needs to switch the GPU this would be a problem for backward compatibility which I think is a major must-have if they bring out a switch 2 or similar.
