Pure speculation here, but I'm pretty sure the reason Nintendo significantly ramped up their legal hiring in the past few years is because they figured it was cheaper to chill the development of custom firmware and emulation than it was to tighten up their hardware.

I'm sure they still made an effort, but I'd be very surprised if the security isn't broken fairly quickly.
