I do wonder, however, what someone would gain by hacking a Nintendo account? Presumably, they could play all my eShop games on a different Switch, name their Switch as the primary console, and buy games I don’t want. Is that it?

This is exactly what happened when my PSN account was "hacked" a few years ago. Fortunately Sony were quite helpful and returned my console to being the primary one and kicked the other user.

My psn was hacked over Christmas and they bought lots of fortnite virtual currency, which they then apparently sell for real money. Stuff like FIFA’s ultimate team card packs are likely targets too. Presumably, similar stuff is the goal with switch .
