Now, clicking on a link to Bimmy shows “This app is currently not available in your country or region.” This time, it wasn’t Apple that removed it but the developer. Over on MacRumors’ forums, the developer said it pulled the app “out of fear.” “No one pressured me to, but I got more nervous about it as the day went on,” it wrote.

Yuzu didn't distribute keys. You had to obtain them yourself. The problems were that:

They distributed software that would decrypt the games once provided with the keys (which is apparently illegal).
They used leaked versions of TOTK to develop the emulator.
They openly talked about piracy in their discord.

Note that I don't actually know for sure. This is just what I saw online.
