    That is true, of course. But that’s a vulnerability from Nintendo’s perspective, not from a customer’s perspective. As in, if this exploit gets improved on, it might lead to people running unlicensed or pirated software on the switch, thus potentially hurting Nintendo.

    It’s not something that might lead to people getting their Nintendo-accounts hacked or stolen or something like that.

    On a Steam Deck, the former concept doesn’t even exist. There’s no Steam Deck vulnerability that might lead to people running non-steam software on the Steam Deck, because it’s allowed usage.

    What I’m trying to say is that vulnerability is not negative for the user or indicative of bad platform security for the user.
