The Nintendo Switch uses my open source code

I don't see how that's in disagreement with what I found interesting?

Usually the sentiment I see expressed in these threads reads to me as: hey, it's not fair that this company is profiting on your (permissively licensed) work without sharing the profit.

But I think that is not the sentiment being expressed here, and rather it is the thing you said.

I thought you were discussing the twitter replies, not the discussion here.

The top comment in this thread, the one I replied to, is basically "I'm happy for the guy, but why do people think Nintendo should/would contribute back?" It's the same GPL vs BSD discussion, just people aren't trying to rain on the individual's celebration.
