Nintendo Switch prevents downgrades by irreparably...
On the other hand Nintendo never pried the NES, SNES, original gameboy and gameboy advances and N64 from its customers hands.

In fact, that is exactly what Nintendo is doing and what the fine article is about. Bricking a device is an effective way of prying it from the customers' hands.

Nintendo isn't bricking it. It prevents firmware from being downgraded. That is a bit different.
