Ryujinx got caught in a crossfire. I’m pretty sure Nintendo wouldn’t dare to harass them, similar to Dolphin, if it wasn’t for all the publicity Yuzu was bringing to Switch piracy. Nintendo shouldn’t have done that but here we are and it’s Yuzu that started this by breaking unwritten rules and playing dumb.

Yuzu was a commercial enterprise. The moment you start taking money for this kind of work it’s no longer a hobby project and should bear all of the legal consequences. Yuzu guys were smart, they played a scrappy underdog but if your whole business idea hinges on breaking multiple laws for the purpose of making money (and they made much more than covering current expenses) you’re asking for trouble. They also enjoy a bit of a revenge from the grave with all the people angry over their toys being taken away doing black PR for Nintendo. Everyone is free to do as they please but what I’m seeing is just a hissy fit so there isn’t that much nuance to this.

I explained the nuance, but if you want to ignore it, go ahead. As for the rest of your comment excluding the final part, we are in agreement and have been since the beginning.
