This may be due to the mood regarding operation in the original switch.
Nintendo gave us a deep dive of Switch 2 during yesterday's directly. Many of the speculation we have heard in recent months has been confirmed, including the magnetically attached Joy-Con, the fact that they can act as a mouse and the mysterious C button, which turned out to be for game chat.

Hi Nintendo, why do you pretend that Switch Oled is not there?
Do not try to hide it, Nintendo, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
We also looked at a number of first party games, including Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, as well as third -party titles such as Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Cyberpunk 2077 and Frommersware's The Duskbloods. However, there was a very sought-after function that Nintendo was quiet about, Hall Effect Joysticks for Joy-Con.
Has Nintendo Switch 2 Hall Effect Joysticks?
The simple answer is that we don't know yet. Nintendo mentioned nothing about Joy-Con except for the magnetic fortress and mouse function. You would think that Nintendo would scream about improving its joysticks from the rooftops with the now solved legal issue and the large number of cases of driving.
This can mean several things. The first and hopefully unlikely scenario is that Nintendo simply has not raised the issue. Devs may have been stuck in the old formula for some reason; Whether it is to sell more Joy-Con or present a higher quality switch 2 in a few years with Hall Effect sticks. A hypothetical newer model would probably also deal with the low battery life for Switch 2.
Another scenario may be that Nintendo treated the situation, but silences on it. Because of the aforementioned legal issue, Nintendo may not want to make a buzz about improving the joysticks, as this can lead to the case reignitis and the company being able to end up by admitting that there really was a known issue with the previous iteration.
It seems that we will not know what the case is until a third party makes a complete technical slowdown or Switch 2. Hopefully Nintendo has raised the issue and only keeps quiet about this for this reason. If not, it will only add the frustration from fans who are already disappointed with the pricing of the console and the first party game.
