Did Aim Assist Get A Buff?

When playing on the Switch, I've noticed that my character was auto locking onto enemies. By autolocking, I don't mean when you're shooting and your aim auto moves slightly to the left or right to the enemies' movements, I legit mean I can run past someone and my camera will almost completely turn to them. Recoil seems to be reduced as well and watching players kill me in the death recap in mixtape, (at this point I'm on PC), I can see that even their aim were being pulled to me and they had almost zero recoil. It didn't appear to be strikepacks or anything like that, as they weren't gods at the game, but their aim was clearly being more assisted.

Also note, my Switch is the original Switch, not the OLED, so if that's part of the "next gen console upgrade", I don't have reduced aim assist due to having the 120hz refreash rate turned on.

If aim assist did get a buff, that's a huge, "wow", because SMGs got nerfed a bit, like the R99 to "counter" aim assist. Why nerf guns, if you're going to allow the reason for the nerf to still be a problem?
