This is from what I remember. I can't provide any proof because it's just from glances at the Yuzu Discord.
From what I recall, the Yuzu dev team (or at least some members) kept a private "stash" of pirated Switch games on a private Discord server and constantly used it to talk about Switch piracy and the like.
If the lawsuit progressed, it would have come out in discovery. Not a good look.
This explains why Nintendo went after Yuzu but not Ryujinx, which employs the same decryption mechanisms as the former.

The Ryujinx team (all? most? just the main dev?) are qlso based out of Brazil instead of the US, which probably makes it harder too.
