Just curious but, what's the point of initializing after getting banned?

Can you update the switch in the future after the ban?

Yes but you need to hash a 256bit SHA key

In case you don't already understand this, re-initializing your Switch will not suddenly make it unbanned. Your Switch console has a unique certificate that is banned on the server-side, you cannot remove this ban from the server. Your only hope is that a future CFW will be released that will allow you to override this unique certificate. Currently this does not exist, and it might not ever exist, but even if it does get created, you will still need a valid certificate from another Switch that hasn't been banned. And if Nintendo sees multiple copies of the same certificate online simultaneously, there is a good chance that they will ban that new certificate as well.

So you're basically screwed, unless Nintendo neglects banning for shared certificates (like public seeds currently in the 3DS scene...) or you buy a "private" Switch certificate from someone else (this also happens in the 3DS scene, and you really have no proof that they haven't sold that "private" seed to multiple people). Or, you could buy another Switch tablet and rip the certificate from it, but at that point you might as well just use that other Switch tablet.

Okay..its like this..I was playing around with layeredfs, installing backups all that..then something happened that made me unable to load backup games..i got an error and sometimes freezes..
so i tried deleting files, moving them here and there to try solve my problem..after awhile i gave up trying..i decided to reset my switch because at the back of my mind, i thought some files in the switch got corrupted..idk..
but when i tried to reset the console, it gave me the ban error message and said i cant unlink my nintendo account..and if i cant unlink my nintendo account,it means i cant reset my console from system settings..
now i know we can reset our switch without unlink our nintendo account from recovery..
thank you all for helping and showing concern..i hope some people out there can benefit from this

*then GameStop tries to go online....*

It's better to brick it then send it into Nintendo as a 'faulty' unit that stopped working.
