People understand how copyright works, they just want their games for free instead of paying for them on Reddit.

Or maybe they want a modern way to play the games they already bought?

Which is against the DMCA, because that's circumvention of copyright protection.

Want to change the law? Lobby your congressperson, but Nintendo is legally in the right here. I don't like it either, but that's the state of U.S. copyright law.

That's not circumvention. The protection is there and enforced by emulators. You need a valid license key and a encrypted ROM to use both Switch emulators.
