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.
