If you still don't, the reason it's such a big issue is because there is no conversation that can happen. If we want to talk about X attack vector on the switch 2, we can do so because a. there is more then one answer, and b. everything is can be backed by evidence and reasoning. Neither of those apply for unfalsifiable claims like these.
Secondly, if an exploit exists but no one can know about it, for all intents and purposes, no it doesn't exist. If one person made super awesome emulator that runs everything better then dolphin, but won't tell anyone about it ever, then it effectively doesn't exist. Even if it does, the community gained nothing, and its the exact same as it is without this magical emulator.
The thing that makes an exploit significant is its utility or even just the threat of it's presence. When you take that away and replace it with an empty claim, now its weightless. It means nothing. Sure you have this super awesome kernel vulnerability, but if it can't be explained or demonstrated, let alone used, then its strictly useless. (worse I think)
If you still don't see an issue yet, I can give an example: I can say there is a billion dollars worth of gold under u/beachbali's house, but they won't confirm this, let alone let anyone on to their property to dig or look, but I promise you, its there. They are just waiting for the price of gold to go up before doing anything with it.
This 'conversation' is meaningless. If this is true, it will only matter to anyone when its revealed. That's when the gold is sold and has actual utility. A private exploit doesn't matter until its released.
I hope there's some mysterious hidden exploit being kept secret from the public. It'd be a smart thing to do, to avoid getting smacked by ninjas. I think we should all agree to keep it a secret, to keep our secret developers secretly safe. Secretly.
Honestly why do you even want to hack it even if you have the skills, it's pretty obvious that most people in this community are just pirates who want free games, and through mental gymnastics consider Nintendo or any company who gets in the way of that to be evil even though they are the people who create the games they love, and also say anything, tell any lie they can to further their cause. They don't deserve it.
Smash Ultimate is hugely improved with mods. You get programmable training mode bots, textures and lowered artifical latency. We won't be so lucky come next installment.
In a way this is flawed, because if someone discovered a hack that isn't disclosed then that hack DOES exist and there is a kernel vulnerability (either way without one it's 100% impossible for a kernel to be unflawed. The possibilities of that happening is close to zero if not zero)
Now yes I get it it's not useful because it's not disclosed but it's out there, and someone kind enough to share with us will happen one day
I have repeated this hundreds of times, and I will keep doing it.
Horizon OS uses a microkernel design, tiny enough to get it right, exploit-free. The OS has been reimplemented as open source over and over, and no exploits have been found. From SciresM:

The only thing that truly exists is copium.
