I don't know if that's the case, though. You switch him out for who? Candidates don't grown on trees, it's either Kamala, Newson, or Michelle. There won't be another debate. Will Hollywood Newson / Michelle win? Kamala is polling worse than Biden.
Kamala is an atrocious politician and candidate and wouldn't be much of an improvement for Democrats, but at this point, if I were a DNC bigwig, I'd rather roll the dice with her than stay on the Biden train which is clearly falling off a cliff.
Even if Kamala ultimately loses her own race, having a younger, more energetic standard bearer could help them win crucial downballot races.
But I agree: if the Democrats had an option to bypass Kamala and replace Biden with a stronger alternative than her, they'd do it in a heartbeat.
