In this case, insult was further compounded because of a prerelease leak of a Legend of Zelda title _and_ charging for early access to an update to make it playable with Yuzu.

That Yuzu reportedly has generally better performance than a Switch console couldn't have helped, either.

Making money and credible potential to eat into sales. A less litigious company would still have complained.

What does that even mean? I think you mean: "the fact that yuzu could be run on hardware that allowed it to perform better than a switch console".

Emulation, by it's very nature, will always perform worse. But the underlying hardware could be significantly better.

From my understanding, this part is not true (though it is widely touted).

There were third parties that made the necessary fixes to run the game in their own forks, but Yuzu proper did not release any fixes until after the game came out, even in the pre-release versions.
