Was just wondering about this from a technical standpoint.
Supposedly, Incognito/exosphere.ini zeroes out your serial number and blanks out your PRODINFO.
How are these tinfoil shops identifying Switches uniquely and enforcing rules such "only max of X switches per account" if you have Incognito/exosphere?
Is this something Nintendo themselves can use to identify Switches, and why aren't they doing it?

Background:
I haven't used a tinfoil shop since the days when things like carcaschoi still worked (supposedly not anymore).
When everything stopped working, I just got it from other sources and installed it myself, and just didn't bother with shops asking for eShop cards.
Just started reading on them again after reading a random post talking about how private some shops are now, where you can't get access via eShop cards anymore, and them banning accounts and enforcing one Switch per account or something.
Which sounded crazy to me, back in the days of the non-private shops I just added them and forgot about it, never even joined any discords.
Now they sound like so much trouble, even requiring phone numbers for verification (like whoa what?)
So I got curious.
