The two mainstream ones are out of development. I live under rocks, but not so many rocks that I don’t know this.
I was hoping for either a backup of them as they were, or some fork(s) that continued development.

Some websites don’t immediately work on my computer because I use Firefox with noscript. Does that mean I should have a special device from lego so I can reliably view Lego.com?
You are clearly not in this target market, and that’s okay. You will be able to emulate most of this on your handheld of choice anyway.
I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.
So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.
If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.
I’m with you man, I’m all in favor of the idea. It’s just that I’m pretty sure that Nintendo looked at that market and decided that the risk to their core business was too great to take the plunge.
If anything, I think they’d just release their first party titles on other platforms before releasing a first party emulator (though I’d welcome either).
I don’t think I’d buy a Switch either if I could get the games easily and reliably elsewhere, like on the steamdeck.
If you use Firefox you’re already a part of an extreme minority.
No because you disabled something which works OOB.
