I know that Fusée Gelée and ShofEL2 don't currently affect any data on the Switch, at least with the payloads that are currently released. BUT, according to their ShofEL2 writeup, when grounding pin 10, it acts as a "secret home button." Now, for those of us just using a wire/staple/paper clip to temporarily ground the pin to get into RCM mode, this probably isn't a problem. But some people are opening up either their Switch or their Joy-Con so they can solder a more permanent connection. Or they're using bentpinhax and leaving the pins bent. The idea is that afterwards all they need to do is hold volume up and hit the power button to boot into RCM mode.
My concern is when these people boot regularly into Switch OS and play online. Under "normal" circumstances, it would be impossible for someone to hit the "secret" home button. So what if Nintendo just checked to see whether or not it was being pushed? People using a temporary method wouldn't be affected, but if you used a more permanent method it would show up as being pushed. And then they could add your Switch to a long list of pending bans and one day it's a repeat of what happened when people where playing Pokemon Sun & Moon early.
As I said, this would only really apply to the people who are soldering their Switch or their Joy-Con. And all of this is speculation. Any thoughts?
