In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely.

Nintendo is Nintendoing again!

And how exactly do they intend to detect or prevent emulation?

As of right now, it seems like the only way they can detect a hacked Switch is if its user goes online for a game in the emuNAND. I don't think there is a way for them to detect emulating on PC, unless you're like that streamer who publicly flouted Nintendo's cease and desists
