According to the article, the upgrade will get you “a higher resolution and improved framerates.”
For me, that upgrade is not worth it. I will play the game entirely in portable mode and my vision is not what it used to be, so I don’t care about resolution.
So it may be worth $10 for some people, then. I am fine with a cheaper game with slightly worse graphics. I am not sure I even notice if a game is running at 60 fps or 30 fps. Even when a game dips below 30, I notice it getting a bit choppy, but a game should be engaging enough that I will not pay it any attention.
To me it’s instantly noticeable if a game is running at 60 or 30. It especially irks me when the original version of a game ran at 60 on much older hardware and then the remake is capped at 30 coughTTYDremakecough
I can tell 60 vs 30 if I switch between them. Like playing a 30 fps game after playing a 60fps one. Even then, I completely agree with you, what’s the point of the remake if it runs worse than the original?
Well, Nintendo is not known to lie in its trailers. Lagging games are lagging in the trailers as well (see GameChat or Pokémon Scarlet / Violet / Arceus trailers for example).

I have played many PS4 games on PS5 without buying the upgrade, and plan to do the same with Switch.
If previously released Switch Pokémon games are any indication, “improved frame rates” means 30.

That would definitely be worth the $10 if you were already buying a Switch 2. A stable 30 is miles better than what we had with Scarlet/Violet.
It was clearly running at 60 FPS during the Switch 2 reveal.
Reveal trailers: famously reliable sources of performance data.
