My impression is that Nintendo doesn't really care about piracy. It doesn't seem to affect them meaningfully, and their actions to stop piracy are always in the "too little too late" fashion. I have a Switch, and I don't pirate its games because I like the company. It wouldn't be hard to do it if I really wanted to.
What they really seem to care about is their brands and IPs, and seem to go after about people using those - for example, the draconian rules on streaming, shutting down Smash Bros competitions, etc.
I can understand their actions. More than any other game company, Nintendo lives and dies on their brand and IPs. Sony and Microsoft are larger than their gaming divisions. Nintendo only has gaming to save itself, and their IPs are major console sellers.
