Apparently a SD card flashing games for the Switch is currently being beta-tested, akin to the infamous Nintendo DS' R4. (twitter.com)

They 100% will and probably are already prepared to do that the day it starts shipping. DSi flashcards were a cat and mouse game, Nintendo kept updating the firmware to block them, and the hackers kept releasing new cards. This went on until DSi hit EOL

This makes me think it'll be difficult, and inconvenient to use these type of cards. Companies actually know when you're misusing an ID (see Apple with Beeper Mini), and act accordingly. Unless there's a way to play disconnected from the internet (and you don't update your console), it'll be a pita to keep these type of card from being blocked.
