Yeah but some people find them boring to look at so we have to keep building prisons instead.

my plan would be putting the roms onto the Switch and then play handheld (is this possible?)

Jailbreaking a still supported console is generally pretty tough. I'm guessing you'll have to look for specific product numbers and firmware versions. For handheld gaming you could always get another device and use it for PC and retro emulators games. Steam deck is excellent, but pricey (and actually plays some switch games). On the slightly more affordable end there are the retroid pockets. There are hundreds of other cheap handheld emulators, but I'd do some reading into one before going with it.

Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons?

Security concerns are a part of it. The idea is that there's an added layer of security if everyone is a friend of a friend, but obviously it's not very practical. Generally the security is added by making sure you're drafting from an "in"-crowd, which usually means familiarity with the content hosted and how the content is generated (like the old what.cd test) in addition to being a member in good standing in a tracker or a proven history of seeding. User limits also make the need for people to be very into the specific content type in order to make sure even the more obscure content is well seeded.

Come to think of it there's probably something to make sure theaters are completing the number of contractually obligated screenings too. Like a 3 person screening is probably a loss for the theater, but not revenue distributers want to lose out on.

I've seen very few leaks of digital prints intended to play in theaters on torrent sites. Either this DRM is unusually effective or pretty much unnecessary.
