Perhaps I'm wording it wrong. Ofcourse Nintendo didn't screw Switch owners, never said that. What I said is that releasing the WiiU version carried a risk for Nintendo because of Cemu. The risk is too small to make a significant impact, yet there are people happy with the WiiU version to play in Cemu. How Switch owners can get screwed is a scenario for next gen, Switch 2 if you like. Consider Swich has a fully working emulator by then which is hugely popular. Perhaps better to only release the next transitional Zelda on Switch 2 only and not on last gen hardware which is no longer 'safe'.

Why aren't developers allowed to lock their software to a specific system? Why don't they have a say in how their work can be enjoyed?

Perhaps you need to check your priorities and enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played instead of worrying about what resolution it's running in.

This goes both ways. Why shouldn't I play the game the way I enjoy it? I've bought it. I've payed for their work. Have I no rights in this matter?

You have the rights you payed for and agreed to in the eula. Maybe some day you'll be a developer and understand how it feels to have the project you worked so hard on being made available online to play in a 'better' way from day 1. Paying for someones work doesn't mean you own their work to alter and distribute as you see fit.

There's a fine line between enthusiam and exploitation, making a brand new game available in an emulator and promoting it is closer to the latter.

I don't have a problem with emulators for old games and systems, yet I find this a very slippery slope and a bit disrespectful.
