I love supporting game devs. I’ve bought my favourites on multiple platforms. I’ve gifted games like Stardew Valley to people because it’s so good and want to reward ConcernedApe for it. Nintendo is actually losing out by not porting games.
Sony putting its games on Steam is different than playing them on an emulator. But my point is Nintendo doesn’t do the former so I’m going to do the latter, with no hesitation because I’m not hurting them.

If you are dumping your own cart, which nobody is doing. Owning a game doesn't make it legal to download the ROM dumped from somebody else's cart and use it. Also, the BIOS certainly isn't legal to use. Nintendo wants to sell Switches...they aren't putting their games on PC
Like I said I use emulators too but Nintendo is well within their rights and what people were doing is illegal.
