This is bad. Because,

a. Switch 2 can get bricked when Nintendo wants you to upgrade to the "Switch Tree."

b. If you discover a purely unused switch 2 decades later it will be useless. It's bricked unless you get that Switch 2 update.

c. It all ties to that Nintendo bricking terms of service terms.

I should've been clear, that was about point c, the clause to brick the console. It has been present since PS3 / PS4 era and is still present for PS5, same with Xbox.

As for the ability to use console without connecting to internet, I don't support that move by Nintendo, so didn't give any examples for that, but Xbox One had that, so at least half of other consoles have this precedence, but it was a stupid move by Xbox then, and it's a stupid move by Nintendo now.
