Perhaps the OP has made the decision to accept Nintendo's control of the Switch in exchange for playing Switch games, but is upset about additional unexpected requirements being added to the mix by individual publishers.

This is exactly correct. Nintendo is the only company who I support with the current generation of consoles, and on the exceedingly rare occasion that I buy a digital game (indies, or a re-release like DOOM), I accept the DRM terms.

If you avoid DRM 100% of the time without exception, then video games become just about impossible to play, with the exception of GOG releases.
