Yuzu shat the bed by putting things behind a Patreon paywall. That's why Nintendo went gunning for them.
If you want Nintendo to come a-knockin', make money off of your piracy.
I think they hate money makers and non-money makers equally. It's just that, when you make money, you can find out who the money is going to and they have a target they can crush.
Why is emu illegal, though? Some kind of DMCA bullshit? That seemed like kind of what Nintendo was alluding to by saying "decryption."
Emulation isn't, but newer consoles require BIOS images to run, and those would be protected, unless they're custom. Maybe YUZU is distributing them?
Not all Switch games rely on the Switch's firmware/BIOS. However all(retail) of them are encrypted and you need to either find the keys elsewhere or dump them from your own Switch(assuming you can run homebrew on it)
