Nintendo's angle is more along the lines of:

  • We gave our friend Switchy the keys to a lockbox.
  • You tricked Switchy into giving you our keys.
  • We didn't authorize you to use those keys.
  • Using our keys without our permission is circumventing our DRM.
  • Yuzu is a tool that enables you to use our keys.
  • It's illegal to distribute tools to circumvent DRM.

It's a massive reach, but it's a plausible argument—or even a good one if the judge is a technologically illiterate luddite. Beyond that, Nintendo is the kind of litigant that will drag out a lawsuit until the other party is forced to settle.
