Every single emulator has been like this for more than 20 years. Has it gone mainstream yet?

That's a good point actually. I would argue that most emulators didn't get good enough during the lifetime of the console, and even Yuzu isn't there yet. But you can see the potential, and that's threatening to Nintendo's business model.

I thought Nintendo's business model was going to make the Switch obsolete next year.

Maybe their next console will have a very similar hardware architecture and it will be easy to adapt existing Switch emulators?
