Unfortunately, Nintendo has not made any friends within the emulation/homebrew community especially as of late(or ever), so the common consensus seems to be "we don't care, as long as you don't do illegal things on our front porch".

This is purely an observation, however these things have tradition within the Nintendo hacking community and most members of the community are very passionate about their projects - the Wii is comparatively hard to emulate, which is why Dolphin is still struggling with certain things after a long time, while Switch emulators can run a lot of games nearly perfectly after less than half a decade.

My point is exactly about the emulation/homebrew community, though. They only continue to have the moral high road against Nintendo as long as they don't condone piracy. If they get in bed with those who want to do genuine piracy, Nintendo is no longer the bad guy for taking legal action.

Not that a Switch emulator completely falls into the latter category, but it lies in a grey area that legacy emulators have mostly steered clear of.

There's no grey area here, though. Emulator devs explicitly disavow using their software for piracy, and ban anyone on official forums for mentioning or linking to pirated games. That's all they have to do, really. (assuming the emulator is clean-room, of course).

It's pretty well established that the market for Yuzu is playing commercial games. Just look at their home page: https://yuzu-emu.org/ Maybe not direct piracy, but clearly adjacent to it. We aren't running homebrew software here.

Yes but you must own and rip these games yourself before playing them: https://yuzu-emu.org/help/quickstart/
