And I am to be convinced that this is ok how? Nintendo have taking risks for decades and created their IPs out of scratch so that something like the Switch have pillars to stand on, as a result neither SONY nor MS come close in terms of the number of successful IPs they have. Those IPs were born out of sweat and tears, software that is an extension of their hardware, and arguably only exist to live on that hardware. For some other devices to emulate these games and reap the benefits of those IPs without taking any of the risks Nintendo took shouldn't be ok anyway.

I'm sure if someone owns a physical copy then the software is their to use whatever they want as long they are not exploiting it commercially. Whatever issues Nintendo (or any developer) had to make it it's not my concern, they were already paid for the software they made

For digital I think you don't really have the ownership of your software there is only have a license for using it as long the publisher revoke it, although I don't know if this license is hardware-specific. I guess it's not

I don't buy for a second most people emulating modern games actually own them. It's just piracy. If you want to emulate Wolf Fang on Bulk Slash on SEGA Saturn. Run Saber on SNES, Ranger X on Genesis then I get it. Those games are stuck on consoles from 20+ years ago. Even PSP I get as Sony is not re-releasing those games.
