Not that I agree with the morality of what Nintendo is doing but their claim is that the emulator can't be used for anything meaningful besides piracy, whereas electricity is a general service that has lots of varying uses.

Which, mind you, the filed brief is explicit about calling ALL emulators as nothing more than piracy tools... Says the company whose own hardware (Switch) is running emulator software to play older games. There is no technical difference except the manner in which the ROMs were loaded. They shouldn't be able to have their cake and eat it too.

Homebrew, game modding, etc...

As long as someone is just running ROMs backed up from their own Switch cartridges and not distributing those ROMs, Yuzu can be used entirely legally.
