For me, the real story about this firmware update is that following the update, and the Nintendo Switch Online stuff becoming centralised via the hub icon, it also means that users with a UK Nintendo Switch Online membership are no longer able to access the different US and Japanese NES/SNES titles in the respective apps as before if they created a US or Japanese user account on the same Switch.

People forget that, until Disney+, this was Disney's business model, especially for their animated classics - a limited home release and back in the "vault" for seven years (essentially the length of a console generation) and then rinse and repeat.
It's done to keep the prestige of the classic titles high - and with a system without a Virtual Console element, it gives them the perfect opportunity to follow this path.
