I really hope this is true. I know Yuzu will be pretty safe when it comes to finding it in the future, even if it's not "official".
That being said, what really worries me is emulation for the next gen switch and if anyone will be willing to attempt to create it, and if not what will happen when it comes to preservation of that console.
There were rumors that Nintendo was looking into system-wide denuvo for the Switch, and that they may be looking to implement that into their newest console. If so, it may not be possible to emulate or even homebrew the next Nintendo console.
My understanding is that it depends on how well it's implemented. Sometimes games get cracked quickly, sometimes they don't get cracked at all. Considering this is Nintendo, I'd be willing to bet they're going all-in and will make it extremely hard to crack.
"Easily startled"? It wasn't a simple C&D dude. They got sued by a vindictive international company worth $50bill USD with a cult following that defends its every action in a hostile, pro-corporate legal environment (the US). The settlement alone shows how absolutely fucked they were.
