MODERATORS
Switch is only exclusive from PC if you care about legality. The Switch emulators are quite good.
Emulation is legal, but the ways most people obtain ROMs of games usually aren't.
Nintendo confirmed that with me via an email!
It's also generally legal if you own the games on the console or physically and can dump them yourself (with the MIG dumper hardware). Of course though you don't actually have to do that, you can but you don't have to.
