Not many, but there are a few that have issues, it was around 1% or less, IIRC.

As for "why", I am not a game dev and I don't know about Xbox, but on Sony side, there are also a few PS4 games that have issue on PS5, and same happens with some games on old version of windows not working on new version, so it's not a completely unheard of situation.

Different hardware. The Switch 2's CPU and GPU are different to those of the Switch 1, so playing S1 games on S2 requires a compatibility layer. Tetsuya Sasaki says it's lower-level than WINE, but not quite an emulator

Yeah, I recall reading about that. Thanks for sharing!
