This is a category of game I call a generically good game. It has few to no flaws but doesn't have much that makes it spectacular. There are certainly highlight tracks that make me won't deny I was genuinely enjoying myself, but in the end there isn't much that it does the 8 does as well and does much better. I understand this is meant for a portable system to take on trips and for kids this would definitely be one of the best options to take on the road. This isn't a bad game (far from that in fact) but it's just as I said before generically good

I agree with the majority of your points. Mario Kart 8 supersedes 7 in many different ways. Just keep in mind that this game released on a portable handheld at a time when "portable" and "console" were different things. Other than that, I respect your opinion and admit that I am somewhat biased based on nostalgia 👍.
