They are still running afowl of the anti circumvention rules in the dmca. Just saying you have to provide your own keys isn't enough.

A switch emulator that wants to be safe from nintendo has to have no capability of circumventing the copyright protection mechanisms nintendo employs.

Look at vlc for inspiration. It can play blurays, it can't circumvent the copyright protection of blurays. But if you provide the keys and the library that decodes the content then it can play them just fine. This keeps vlc safe.

ok but how does the bluray library stay safe? its still a similar problem. for piracy sites, a lot of them seem to deal with it by just having it be hosted in a country that doesnt care enough to shut them down.

Like you already pointed out there are ways for the library to stay safe, the important point is being disconnected from the emulator.
