I want to preface by saying I don't blame some people with thinking that this is Nintendo trying to police what people do with discontinued hardware considering their history with fan works and other unauthorized stuff. That's an underlying fear I have with this too.

But legally I don't think they can do anything about it. They officially stopped supporting those consoles and shut down the online servers, meaning they can no longer get system updates. So I think it's just them putting out a warning against unofficial programs so that they can't get involved legally if something happens.
