Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo” (arstechnica.com)

At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

This does not apply to difficult projects like emulators.

E.g. suyu, a yuzu fork, does not seem to get much development. Most of the changes are build or documentation related. [1]

Those emulators will work fine for the currently supported games, but without new competent people (trying to stay anonymous), I don't see how these emulators will improve.

Yeah, now that both of the main emulators have been shut down, it will be interesting to see how well people can run future high profile Switch games on PC. Mario & Luigi Brothership and Metroid Prime 4 come to mind.
