I would believe you, but we've seen PlayStation 3 OtherOS play out. In that case, Sony sold it with 'install Linux' as a feature. Later on, they poison-pilled an update and killed that.
There was a lawsuit, in which class action plaintiffs got between 9$, or $55 if you said you used OtherOS.
But if this was any of us, hacking Sony, we would be rotting in prison. But Sony can hack millions of peoples supposed property, and "here's your latte money, too bad, so sad!"
This should have been a criminal trial, in which the executives would go to prison, firmware should be rolled out to reenable it, and make people actually whole.
So yeah, I fully expect Nintendo to remotely destroy hardware, and get away with it. The concept of "you don't own, but you license" is the toxic shit that allows this, alongside DMCA 1201.
