Right?
If they hate emulators so much, why aren't they selling native x86 versions?
they could even sell a VM image as they've proven it still runs better virtualised on other machines than it does native on theirs
I get it; I even tend to like their consoles. The Switch is fantastic for what it is, when it came out (though admittedly: I am more likely to buy a Steam Deck than a Switch 2, at least as of now, not knowing the Switch 2's specs).
But either sell an x86 build, or get over emulators. Or develop a taste for my favourite cocktail, if you can't pick between the other two options
