I don't think it's diminishing the work of the Yuzu devs, but more so a strong belief in the capabilities of the open source community. They worked their asses off and are extremely talented, and I'm sure there are others who will hop in and carry the torch.

I'm also curious if there's a programmatic way to circumvent the argument Nintendo made about bypassing DMCA by separating the emulator from the code that utilizes the keys such that you can use tool A to bypass DMCA, and tool B (Yuzu with game decryption removed) to run the circumvented game. In this case tool A already exists, and tool B could be a fork of Yuzu.

This is similar to how Tachiyomi forks can still exist. Even though tachiyomi never had a real case go to court, they've separated the extensions library from the reader so nothing comes "preloaded" with any potential copywrite infringing parts.
