@darth exactly. It isn't being done for piracy, it is being done by many to get the best experience. This is just a byproduct of the Switch specs being rather lowly and gamers used to better performance seeking to get that sort of performance with games in the Switch library.
It's like when gamers use XIM devices to get access to K&M or use unofficial gyro controllers. The initial incentive might not be to cheat but to get access to the superior control methods because they are either not supported by the platform they are using or the game they are playing.
The lesson here is that console makers and game developers need to keep up with the times to minimize users going their own way and solving performance or control issues themselves.
