Well, to put it bluntly: I don't need to be consistent. I only want to play my physical Switch games on my Switch. I don't expect to be able to back them up. The fact that it's copy-protected and locked down and all that doesn't change my mind. I should, within reasonable limits (the cartridge being stolen by silverback apes, the Switch cartridge port going bad, etc), be able to play my Switch physical games indefinitely, and for that, I am fine with the DRM implemented on the Switch and my entire collection of handheld devices which have similar policies. DRM that requires verification to a central server is guaranteed to not function in a few years, and that kind of DRM I am not OK with. Those game will die soon, and tons of games die every year. See these videos for info on them: https://www.accursedfarms.com/videos/dead-game-news https://www.accursedfarms.com/videos/dead-game-news I find it interesting that when someone points out something they do not care for, they have to 100% reject everything under that umbrella in a weird "zero-tolerance policy". I have no clue why, according to every discussion on the Internet, I cannot, for example, dislike sports cars, but think that the Bugatti Veyron is pretty cool. Not everything has to be 0 or 1. Then again this is hacker news so maybe it's the inner engineer in us all.
