Sucks that laws like the DMCA make it illegal to bypass encryption for the sake of emulation or other fair use

IANAL, but there are a bunch of carve outs for these purposes.

It's unclear how this would have actually shaken out, but probably just because Nintendo is Nintendo, it would have gone in their favor. And yuzu didn't want to be the one to set bad precedent for any future endeavors.
