They don't ban your account, they ban your switch. If your switch is caught, it won't be able to use any Nintendo services ever again. But your account would still work on other devices.

So it will become a MIG switch only system, right? Also, how does one get caught? I'm not into online games in general, so I wouldn't be playing any multiplayer games. Is the simple fact that the game's certificate was used on multiple devices simultaneously enough to flag the device?
If you don't want to risk getting a ban at all, the only safe thing is to not connect to the internet at all. Maybe there is some level of safety, but it could take only one mistake.
If we assume that we fully understand how nintendo catches this, we would still only ubderstand at that point in time. They could still change or push updates which could cause you a problem.
Yeah but the moment you connect it to the internet you'll be banned because there's a file inside the nand that saves if you've used unlicensed software.
The Nintendo ban only prevents you from accessing Nintendo servers so by disabling internet in your switch forever you are just basically banning yourself
Unless you need online multiplayer it doesn't make much difference. I have my switch block Nintendo by DNS so its effectively me banning them instead of the other way around but if they did ban me I probably wouldn't notice.
Philosophical reasons?
I don't like the way Nintendo destroys people's lives just because they "lost" a few dollars.
