There are law firms that work on contract specifically to do this work. And it's not like the senior partner is doing it repo by repo, it's a junior paralegal searching GitHub for "yuzu.cpp" or whatever and filing one big takedown request for all the results.
Hmm I smell another "DeCSS" coming along...
If there hadn't already been a court ruling-ish (it is complicated) giving Nintendo the "right" to do this? Sure
As it stands? It very well could be an intern filling out a word document
