TLDR

Because Valve asked Nintendo if it was allowed, and Nintendo said it shouldn't (pretty please), so Valve asked Dolphin to ask Nintendo if they could. Dolphin's team finds of obviously impossible to accomplish.

I think it's smart on Valve's part. With how litigation-happy Nintendo is, I don't think Valve really wants to go to bat for a program that isn't even their own, and isn't even needed on Steam anyway.

Valve is lawsuit averse. They sacked NFT games and AI generated games for similar reasons.

By the same extent, Valve is so based.

I don't understand, why are people mad that Nintendo isn't allowing a random person to make money off its intellectual property and consoles? Why would or should they? There's nothing for them to gain
