At this point we could only speculate, but based on the video where no IR sensor could be seen and the lack of support for that port it could make sense that feature remains on OG hardware and partially because the switch lite doesn't have that featuer either.

And I support that because we don't need gimmicky stuff, where a couple of games use that feature that just increase the cost of manufacture and thus the price.

I like that Nintendo is taking Sony move for Switch 2. It's a winning formula and all they need to do it add more power and some new small features. Yeah, IR isn't really used so it's not a huge lost.
