Groovy. All they're doing is making me more certain that I will not move above my 3DS. At least, not until there's a guaranteed CFW for Switch.
There is for early models of the Switch:

If you are interested you’ll have to buy a used one, older is more likely to work.
i would rather by a tablet or a pc then buy a switch just to mod it
Well, I wouldn't buy anything but a used one - do you think I'm going to give any money to Ninty's lawyers?
This is the only thing giving me any slight of interest in wanting to get a switch 2. I have an early switch and its pretty cool what it can do when hacked
We got lucky in 2017, I suspect it'll be a good long while before the switch 2 gets hacked, specifically in an accessible way.
A hacked switch (or even switch 2 really, looking at the specs) is really just a shitty steam deck that can run Nintendo games natively.
I wouldn't recommend forking over 500 bucks for something you may be able to jailbreak one day, when 400 can get you more out of the box.
