Does the Steam Deck REALLY Destroy the Switch?

According to the agreement that you agree to every single time you buy a game on Steam, "the Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services." You're not buying the games, you're buying the license to use them.

Nintendo:

"The Software is licensed, not sold, to you solely for your personal, noncommercial use on the Console. You may not publish, copy, modify, reverse engineer, lease, rent, decompile, disassemble, distribute, offer for sale, or create derivative works of any portion of the Software"

There is a reason why Nintendo is able to shut down YouTube channels.  

And to be clear, I am looking at getting a Steam Deck, with the intent of grabbing some emulations.  But I'm not going to sugar coat it, technically it isn't legal.  I just don't care.  Largely because I don't anticipate anything being enforced.

I know back in the day I had software that converted my physical movies to digital, it was shut down for being in violation of law.  

Before you continue this line of thought i want you to show me where anyone has ever been charged with using emulators to play their game or where any emu dev was ever charged for making said emulator. Only time a case like this was with Sony and Bleem and guess who got the rulling that emulation was legal?. Thats right it was bleem.

Also the is 100's of software that can rip your dvd/bluray to make a digital copy same with songs so please tell me why are they not shut down?.

If your talking about a program that allows you to download copies of things you dont own thats one thing. But thats bringing the convo away from what we originally talked about. Playing a game you "Do own" on a different device if you wish using emulation that is perfectly legal.

Weak argument.  There are all kinds of things on the internet...  that aren't legal.  

At best it is a gray area, leaning towards illegal.  But nobody here is going to change their position.
