The Switch 2 Upgrade Pack adds more than a simple frame rate bump to Breath of the Wild, with higher resolution textures, 60 fps, a second save slot, expanded cloud inventory, and Zelda Notes app integration for navigation and audio diaries. It also keeps the game optional, since the base version still runs without it, and active Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack members get it included. The main drawback is that the upgrade is paid and tied to an active subscription or the cartridge key, which frustrates players who expected a free optimization. A practical add on if the extra features matter.
Players who want smoother performance on newer hardware, because the upgrade adds higher frame rate and higher-resolution textures.
Families using the navigation app, because it gives objective guidance and helps finish tasks without spending hundreds of hours.
Players who want extra save flexibility, because the upgrade adds a second save file and expanded cloud inventory.
Active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers, because the upgrade is included at no additional cost while the membership stays active.
Players who want to avoid paying extra for hardware improvements, because the upgrade charges for performance boosts that feel like a patch.
Players who want the game to stay fully usable after a subscription lapses, because access to the upgrade ends when the membership expires.
Players who rely on item duplication to offset breakable weapons, because the upgrade patches out that glitch and removes that workaround.
Players expecting a major content expansion, because the upgrade mainly improves performance and adds small features rather than a full new game.

I am also in the camp that wishes that these types of upgrades would have been free/included as part of the upgrade cycle. To me this should be a given to try and drum up new console sales while the initial library is weak (think about what Microsoft did with the Xbox Series One X). But ultimately we're owed nothing so pay the man.
I do wish that we could have used our No Rush Shipping Credits on these types of purchases. I feel like you used to be able to do so back in the day with Digital Games/DLC but admittedly I've never tried a Nintendo DLC.
