No because the primary use of Linux is not piracy. Whereas for emulation it is.
The whole point of emulation is that you want to play content for which the original hardware no longer exists. And so there is no harm being done to anyone.
This situation is obviously quite different because Nintendo is being harmed.
You need to use a less general term than 'emulation' to make that claim.
Your OS emulates. The companies that made the chips you run them on emulate their own hardware. The company in the headline emulate their own video game hardware and sell it to their customers.

It's not piracy to play a game that you've backed up on different hardware than the original developers intended.

And the weak chipset on the switch is a big reason to want to use emulators without piracy.
And there's modding too.
Your "whole point" is very far from whole.
