Backwards compatibility means they might not be able to talk to AMD unfortunately, depending on how the software is set up I'd assume.
I and many people with a Cool PS2 can attest that AMD hardware has no problems running Switch games.
Never heard of that, I assume it's an emulator. Emulation is different from running a game natively. Yeah, Nintendo probably could get AMD hardware to work as a replacement for Nvidia hardware, but I would guess either compatibility would be imperfect, there would be a performance hit, or both.
Switch 2 emulates Switch 1 games, so being Nvidia or AMD doesn't really matter there
