That is going to only work in specific minority of games that don't tie their game logic to the framerate, and can cause instability. Also even with that hack, most of the games in that video are running at 13-17fps, so um, that's slow.
Mario Kart DD was running at ~45FPS, Strikers also looked much higher than 13-17fps and the youtuber commented that it was "playable" for him. I know the short cuts they are taking, but I don't know the bottlenecks they are hitting, the device only has 7GB/s of memory bandwidth, the RPi4 wouldn't have that problem, the CPU in the RPi4 is also faster, and who knows where the GPU finally ends up being. What we don't know, we don't know. I will agree hardheartedly that it's unlikely that RPi4 will ever play games as good as something like Nvidia shield tv, but knowing the Raspberry Pi community, do you really think that level of performance would stop them?
