Yes, if a homebrew application wanted to brick your Switch, it certainly could. However, there is zero evidence that the author of DBI wants to do that. Anyone, including you, has the ability to create something that could brick a Switch.

No, I don't think you need to worry about using DBI as long as you're using the official, unpatched version. If you're using a patched version, though, then a threat is a threat.

Doubt.
What makes you think that it was about to brick your switch? Why would actual brick code ever give you a warning before executing?

I doesnt
The guy who made DBI said it on this platform that if you use DBI translated itll flag ur switch, and then even DBI russian will brick a tagged switch, we still dont know how to remove the tag besides reformating cfw. Its better to stay safe then sorry and not use a program from a guy known to add malware to hus code.

I have not seen a single confirmed brick. So what exactly did you "witness"?

There is this count down timer, 13 second to destruction, quickly hold power button to beat it.

That's pretty funny. That guy is a master troll.
I totally understand people being hesitant to use it based on the things he's said in the past though. The intent is probably just to scare people away from using the app so he doesn't have to deal with them anymore. But there's no way of knowing for sure what he might do in the future.

13 second timer is a joke. If the app want to brick your Switch there is no way for you to escape.
