Might be wrong, but from online discussions it seems to me Xecuter's SXOS goes a bit farther than merely being a rooting tool, it also seems to include some functionality that ties to Nintendo's proprietary code & keys, which would be a big no-no if it's indeed the case. In that sense they're probably not the same thing as open-source Atmosphere and homebrew ecosystem around it.
Apart from this, I just couldn't help but notice the overall negativity in the comments. It's thinly veiled in excuses, like opportunity cost for law enforcement or whatever, but it's there.
Maybe the real concern here is that we simply don't agree with the law. DMCA was enacted 10 years before Spotify started business. If I hazard a guess many of the people here in HN, and out there in your neighbourhood were downloading mp3's back then. These laws were not made by popular support. They weren't made by the people, or for the people. It seems to me, majority of the people here and outside haven't really internalized IP laws, and would rather live in a world without them if they could.
I think it's fine if our moral compasses don't align with the law. It's one thing to obey the law, and another thing to actually agree with it. No amount of pressure from anti-piracy groups can turn a law into a holy commandment. So we don't have to beat around the bush. If you can't symphatize with the massively profitable huge gaming company and if your symphaties lie elsewhere, maybe it's time to discuss why reality, laws and government don't reflect your will.
