Unlike those Xbox and PlayStation assholes

Same with them but they are not nearly as well known for their scummy behaviour and going after harmless projects.

Aside from hyper-aggressive protection of their IP to try to stop piracy, I legit can't think of any scummy behavior Nintendo does that other game companies don't do at either an equal or worse level. That includes MS and Sony.

EDIT: Further, emulation of a current-gen console may technically be legal depending on how you do it, but it's not harmless. Some can/will use it in an essentially harmless way, but you and I know that the vast majority of users will use it to enable piracy.

Doesn't matter, US law says emulation is legal. When Nintendo starts respecting the law I'll respect them.
