So I can only guess the reason why they didn't mention how much more powerful NS2 is compared to NS1, is because it is not that much more powerful?

I would guess only 30 to 50% more powerful

No, it's because Nintendo prides itself to be about games, not about performance.

I think they've done something smart here by partnering with NVIDIA and given the success of the switch 1 they've probably built a good relationship.

So, although you're right, NVIDIA might be giving them a good performance/efficiency bespoke chip.
