Rather than a value judgment of whether or not Nintendo is rightly applying the law, Yuzu settling must be viewed as a fundamental inability for a small group of independent devs to defend themselves against the deep pockets of a famously litigious major global corporation in the modern court system.

Not necessarily, powerful counterparties settle all the time if it's cheaper for both. Yuzu chose not to fight in court, but so did Nintendo.
