For what it’s worth, Nintendo’s kernel has been reimplemented entirely as open-source, under the mesosphere/ folder of the Atmosphere project. Modded Switches use it over Nintendo’s original binary.
The creator of it (SciresM) has publicly stated that after reverse engineering and re-implementing both it and the 3DS kernel, he firmly believes it has zero security flaws remaining. The last 6 or so years of not one software exploit in Horizon capable of enabling piracy also bears this out.

He also is giving the Switch 2, assuming it inherits the NVIDIA boot bug fix and new anti-glitching capabilities, possibly over a decade of being crack free at this rate. Even then, it will almost certainly be a hardware mod.
