What happened to Yuzu was that they were making $20,000-$30,000 in monthly revenue, for an emulator that would “technically” be competing with the current hardware.
I mean, yes the yuzu team did have problems with the money scheme and openly playing games before their release, but the fact that even forks by people who had no connection to the devs got taken down shows that Nintendo can take down any project they want, regardless of if it contains proprietary code
That’s what happened to yuzu

Thats where they fucked up, in my opinion.

Yes. I see your point. :/
Not exactly. A big reason for them being sued is for circumventing Switch’s encryption.
Which is still legal. It’s just the flimsy excuse they used to file the lawsuit, and the Yuzu debs didn’t have the energy/money to fight it
*in some jurisdictions.
That doesn’t mean they used proprietary code. The keys were supplied by the users
