>>It's just what it is, you'd have to crack the DRM on it and that's already a violation of the DMCA.

I don't live on the US and there's literally nothing illegal about dumping a switch ROM here. DMCA doesn't have any authority here. Besides, even in US you have the right to make a copy of the media you own and this particular scenario hasn't been tested in court so at best you are speculating.

>>Let's be honest for a second, almost no one who's running a switch emulator legally purchase those games, and then dumped those games to a file.

Where I live you can legally just download a copy of a game that you own and play that, nothing illegal about that.

>>Sure, it's possible but that's not what 99.9% of users are going to do.

Even then, that's not a reason for Nintendo to remove those videos from YouTube. Just like a video explaining how to use a torrent client shouldn't be removed, even though "probably" 99.9% of users use torrents to pirate content.

Did you forget the entire discussion last year about the takedown of Youtube-DL? Just because something might be used illegally doesn't make it illegal.

>>You attempt to install Windows on a Steam Deck, but it looks like nothing works yet

Right, that part I'll admit I wasn't aware of.

> Besides, even in US you have the right to make a copy of the media you own

Not in the sense that we usually refer to "rights" in US law. The big tangle here is that Congress essentially passed one law that said making copies is only legal under one set of conditions, then passed a different law saying that breaking DRM is only legal under a different set of conditions.

YouTube is an American based company, therefore they should not encourage the violation of American laws.

Additionally, YouTube has a right to act in their own best interest. Nintendo also runs advertising on various Google products, if responding to their DCMA request makes it easier for Google to turn a profit, why not?
