Ask yourself this: If Nintendo was actually cool with people hacking their brand new console, why put any restrictions on it in the first place? Why not just make the Switch an open platform that customers can hack away on to their hearts content? Why? Because they'd loose huge $$$ in game sales and no commercial game developer/publisher in their right mind is going to put time and money into developing a AAA game that can be copied and played for free on a hacked Switch. 

Actually... if Nintendo would allow unlicensend apps to run it would mean nobody would pay royalties to Nintendo for putting their game or app on the device. So without piracy Nintendo has a strong incentive to keep the platform closed.
