A whole lot of this.one update to apply the new firm, another update that would actually overwrite the partitions.
unless they try to overwrite it right after rebooting.
either way this would probably affect legitimate users, which is most likely illegal (to try and intentionally brick devices) but also Nintendo fears harming legit users more than unlegit/"pirates".
Nintendo already caught a ton of flack for the brick wave that Wii Update 4.2 caused for legitimate users, so I really doubt they'd be wanting to repeat that experience any time soon. Wii U is on its way out, as is 3DS, and with the Switch nearing release, releasing a 3DS update that causes a brick wave will essentially kill the Switch before it even launches. I'd hope you could see how that would be bad for business.
Edit: Question about splash screens with CTRNAND boot is still there.
