It should be obvious, emulation without owning the software is piracy. Emulation with owning the software is just emulation, that's the way it has always been even since NESticle. I own BOTW on my Wii U, but yeah I use Cemu because you can increase the resolution of the game, tinker around with some code, etc. etc.

I will also note that people who pirate aren't customers anyway, they weren't going to buy it no matter what, so we can't count them with the potential sales of a piece of software. There is a minor percentage of pirates that buy the game eventually. If people have such malice towards pirates, maybe they should become a software engineer and combat pirates rather than complaining to people that don't really care.
