Yeah but weren't they making specific patches to accommodate an early leak of Tears of the Kingdom? At that point, they were kind of directly facilitating piracy; no one could argue that they were working with a legitimately obtained ROM.
Of course, I don't know the details, I've never actually gotten Yuzu working in any capacity (since I run macOS) and thus I wasn't part of their Patreon or Discord, so maybe I'm mistaken?
I see a lot of falsehoods (like "nobody ever sold an emulator before," when Apple showcased commercial PlayStation emulation at a keynote event in 1999) going around and I assume the reason is people don't like the implications of this case and are substituting a more palatable version of events that didn't really happen.
Not only did Apple showcase it, Sony sued Connectix and lost, thus formally making emulators "legal". [1] Similarly though, it looks like they were able to basically shut it down by getting injunctions on it while the case was pending, and eventually buying and discontinuing it.
