It isn't about losing money, it's about the exploit being known by N
Ya so let's see timeline seems to be:
-Super obscurr but powerful bug reported to Google
-Bug got to nVidia and, by consequence, Nintendo
-Nintendo contacted SciresM directly (if the 4chan rumor is right)
-Scene lost major bug for nothing, may never be replaced and squandered for Mariko/new Switches
