Nintendo’s legal argument is that the encryption that is reverse-engineered to circumvent copy-protection is protected intellectual property.
Anyone can copy the contents of a switch ROM (more of a glorified SD card anyway) but the million-dollar question is whether their proprietary encryption can be broken legally.

Isn’t the encryption algorithm open? That’s what matters. It’s AES, no?
… and if so, a key/password is not legally protected. Have Lexmark’s bullshit to thank for that precedent.
You don’t necesairally need to to dump a switch to emulate something with Yuzu. Look at all of the GBA games made today. Wii homebrew, etc.
