from what I can see,

CAN they brick your 3DS if they find you using it with unauthorized code... Yes
ARE they allowed to install updates on your 3DS without your consent... Yes (as per the licence agreement)
COULD they reep more profits from bricking, debatable.
WOULD they brick a 3DS, Doubt it. They may do a Microsoft (Lifetime ban of the unit online) but killing the whole unit na, not even Sony or Microsoft have had the brass balls to kill the whole machine.

When I connect to my wifi connection the other day the 3ds ask me if I want to test the connection I did, then it start downloading the lastest update? without user input. I thought nintendo were not allow to force updates on people?

Sorry if I'm offensive but really, your point is? so what, they have wi-fi, what does that have to do with anything?

Yeah I bet we all didn't know that abbreviation already.

And why the hell would they brick me for going online (which by the way is impossibe), what have I ever done?

Nintendo can release updates to try and counter a flashcarts compatibility.
But full out tracking and bricking? Nope
