I think it could be interesting. It has a cartridge slot, which makes hacking the thing infinitely easier. The Nvidia processor should make running Linux on it easier. Maybe Retropie or Dingux could be ported over. There are rumors of a microsd card slot which would enable storing backups, media or other programs. There is also rumors of a type c port which could be used for otg or connecting to a computer to extract cartridge data.
I realize Nintendo could probably put some security system on it, however any security system can be broken. The PS3 was originally unhackable and now it is easy to hack.

Why buy a gaming machine just to place Linux on it and then lose functionality? Typical of those types of devices, the folks will have to come up to speed on the chipsets chosen, find (or complain about the utter lack of) drivers and then try to make it work with very limited success. Linux doesn't need to be everywhere. Want emulation, buy one of the many emulation devices out there without losing functionality of the specialized gaming device such as the Nintendo Switch.

Does it really add any worth?
From my experience, heck no.
