Is it safe to use MIG Switch for pirating? (self.piracy)

I have a MIG Switch and a few pirated games, though I'm afraid it will ban my account, including games I've bought.

I don't use Switch anymore due to philosophical reasons, so it's probably not a huge deal, but it would probably still piss me off, because I spent some money there.

Do you think it could be mitigated by resetting the switch to the factory settings and never logging in?

Yeah but the moment you connect it to the internet you'll be banned because there's a file inside the nand that saves if you've used unlicensed software.

The Nintendo ban only prevents you from accessing Nintendo servers so by disabling internet in your switch forever you are just basically banning yourself
