It's not the "antiquity" of the hardware. It's that the chipset was known and they forgot to lock the bootloader.
That's what happens when your core manufacturing philosophy is "withered technology". You get old tech people have figured out.
Not a nintendo fan boy, but i will say i love that they focus more on good gameplay than having the flashiest graphics
I loved that the Gameboy was designed to survive a fall from the average shirt pocket. I love that the Wii controllers pushed gyroscopic technology so far that it allowed the explosion of quadcopters. I loved the idea of 3d through rapid aspect switching.
I loved when Nintendo pushed boundaries, not just through hardware but through gameplay. I enjoy and appreciate the Nintendo polish
I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly - good gameplay is much more important than flashy graphics. But the polish was nice - pushing boundaries is what made the difference

Consoles get unlocked sooner or later.
There's already exploits circulating for the PS5. People already have game rips running. You're gonna tell me that's “Withered technology” ?
