It might work for some games, but not every gesture can be mapped 1:1 to position sensing alone. And switching back and forth between rubbing the joycon sideways on the couch cushion and waving it around is going to get annoying.
Just to be clear, we are talking about a video game controller here, right?

I find it unlikely that 3rd parties will go back to upgrade older games. In the case of Doom Eternal, I'm not even sure we'll see a "patch fix". I think the sentiment is likely that it will be easier/more cost effective to "re-port" some of those titles rather than try to upgrade titles so heavily modified to work on the Switch. Hell, WB is doing that with Hogwart's Legacy!

We're seeing that with Hitman, so it wouldn't surprise me if native Switch 2 versions of the Resident Evil titles are in talks, if not development.

I 100 percent expect the RE games.

Doom and MK1 could get general "performance patches" like S/V is getting. That would depend on publisher though.
Thinking more about it, perhaps at E3 we'll see announcements for Doom The Dark Ages and Resident Evil 4 remake which would be more logical then their predecessors at this time.

We have evidence that Nintendo had been importing hundreds of thousands of Switch 2s into the US since January, so those would obviously be exempt from the tariffs (since, y'know, they didn't exist when they were imported) so the best theory I've seen is that those will sell through, Nintendo will eat the loss on the tariffs for the rest of the year for future Switch 2's (obviously they don't wanna hug over their first holiday season by doing a price increase), and then likely do a global price increase in 2026 to offset the increased tariffs.
Sigh... I remember when prices went down as console generations wore on...
