Well what gets me is one of the very first things they say is that the purpose of the emulator is to facilitate piracy.

That's not what emulators are for. Emulation =/= piracy.

Now....... I can acknowledge that most people emulating are not dumping their own games. But..... people who own software, like a Nintendo switch game, are entitled to play it on whatever hardware/software can run it, not just a Nintendo switch. Emulation is not piracy.

I think the issue here with Yuzu, and why they're getting sued and not the other Switch emulator, is that they make it pretty obvious that it's for piracy. Ignoring the theoretical you can actually legally dump your own games and BIOS (99% of people aren't doing this), they provide you with instructions on how to not do that and to instead pirate. That's the big mistake they made that other emulators largely haven't. I don't know how this particular case will play out but I don't think anyone needs to worry about Switch emulation disappearing since we already have at least one other emulator and it's better than Yuzu a lot of the time.
