So I guess that would make it more resilient agains Nintendos efforts to destroy all emulators?

Hosting is part of it, but didn't they legally restrict Yuzu's developers from working on the emulator? That seems to be a far greater obstacle to me.

They convinced the yuzu team to officially not work on yuzu anymore, but I guess the devs could still work on it using their private account or in form of another another team. The major problem was thir patreon locked pre-releases

But I’m not a legal expert

Also, I think it's safe to assume what you have provided is not legal advice.

Can't they work on it now as its hosted via p2p? How would they know

I would think the devs wouldn't want to risk it. Assuming they are barred from working on it, if they slip up & reveal something about themselves while working or committing, they may be targeted even harder.
