This is bad. Because,

a. Switch 2 can get bricked when Nintendo wants you to upgrade to the “Switch Tree.”

b. If you discover a purely unused switch 2 decades later it will be useless. It’s bricked unless you get that Switch 2 update.

c. It all ties to that Nintendo bricking terms of service terms.

    It will probably only concern the first batch. Nintendo does not want leakers to spoil the fun for everyone 2 weeks before its release.

      That fact it’s possible to brick customer owned hardware this way leaves way too much room for false positives and malicious intent. No thanks.
