It would be, if they didn't target the emulators and only targeted the roms/game data.

The only time the emulators are targeted is when the creators try to profit off them, or am I mistaken?

That's definitely not the case for Switch emulators.

Yuzu was charging for early access to their emulator, which is what prompted Nintendo action.

Ryujinx doesn't seem like any legal action was taken, sounds like the creator was given a chunk of cash by Nintendo to take it down.

I hate Nintendo, but you gotta keep the facts straight

I don't think they paid him off, I think it was more along the lines of "We won't do anything to you if you stop now"

They also shut down Yuzu forks using the DMCA. If they paid Ryujinx's dev it was the equivalent of the Mafia bribing a judge while waving a picture of his family.

That, and when Nintendo's code is used in some way to develop the project. Japan has very strict laws on reverse engineering any software, which Nintendo is always set to capitalize on.
