How can we praise the Nintendo Switch?
It is a computer we cannot freely write a program of. It's evil, like the most of DRM protected gaming consoles.

No one is complaining that you can't run your own programs on the dishwasher or thermostat, or your car (and I fear the day we get jailbroken autonomous cars)
It's not that far off from tractors and the like, which actually is a problem for owners when they become abandonware. Comment thread and documentary on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16386012
I'm happy with my Switch despite it being locked down, and hey, it's Nintendo and people are already running Linux on it: https://twitter.com/fail0verflow/status/964954316892119040
Not everything has to be an RMS-style pissing match about DRM and lack of open source compatibility. This is a game console made for the most novice of users; not a PC with a Windows license being forced on you. Calm down.
