By the same logic, just because you are combating piracy doesn't mean you can take away the ownership from your customers, much less do it whenever you want. Not just because of ethical concerns, but because they'd be opening themselves to a boatload of financial and legal troubles. There's going to be hell to pay if they decide to implement this, no decent consumer protection law is going to allow that.

You do something illegal with a thing you bought, you lose that thing. You rob a store with a knife you bought, the police will take away your knife. Im not sure why gamers should be above that law. Just dont steal games and you will be fine.

That's not how it works. The only illegal part here is specifically the infringement of copyright i.e. making use of an unauthorized copy of the game. If you use your TV to play pirated games or pirates movies you don't simply lose your TV

Likewise, using a Switch 2 to play pirated games does not mean lose acess to your Switch 

What Nintendo is proposing is absolutely illegal, at least in any country with some degree of customer protection
