I mean, I had homebrew at the time and I also played it pre releases so they just let that slip through?

It's a lot harder to go after homebrew since there isn't anything directly linking atmosphere/hekate/etc. devs to the promotion of piracy.

Since the Yuzu team had a whole company formed to manage their patreon funds and were clearly promoting functionality for a game that hasn't been released yet, they were an easy target for Nintendo. The same thing happened with Team Xecuter's switch homebrew/mods ages ago.

If Nintendo had definitive evidence to suggest the Atmosphere devs are profiting off of piracy, they'd do the same thing in a heartbeat. Same with Ryujinx, Luma3ds, or any other form of emulation/homebrew. The only reason they don't is because they know only way they'd stand a chance in court is if they make it about piracy, copyright protection, and stolen profits.
