You do you, but I refuse to support a developer that routinely shits on any project their fans make and stifles emulation for consoles / games that they never plan to sell. Not to mention problems with their hardware and pricing.
In this day and age there are tons of amazing games in every genre, how much are you really missing out on by not playing Nintendo games?
Tbf, old comments can also give important context through earlier refactors and help avoid treading the same ground again.
That being said, this is with the assumption that the next dev making a change will add their own comments describing it.
