I have children, like their first party titles, and dislike piracy. I also have a PC handheld that gets more use than the Switch, and I like both.

and dislike piracy.

Because you cant just... You know, Fucking Rip the game from The cardridge?

I can't, because I don't have the 1st gen or whatever with the faulty firmware. Maybe there's a new exploit, idk.

I'd be fine downloading a digital copy if I own the cartridge, I'm just too lazy to actually find a suitable emulator and just play on the Switch. My kids like to watch me anyway, so the TV is usually a better option, hence the Switch.

We take it on trips as well, so it's pretty nice. I bring my Steam Deck as well, but that's for me, not my kids.
