The same advantage as putting your app on Google Play instead of just an APK download link on your website.

If it's on the Switch, it's on the Nintendo eShop is my point. It's not just the developer's own website, it's the "Google Play" of Switch.

So what would a second, smaller, pricier 'emulator store' offer over that?

Nintendo's old game catalogue strategy devolved into the Netflix model: subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online and you get an app with some old games in it. You don't pay per game.
