I'm not saying it will never happen but just wait and see where we are in like 5 years. People are acting like they'll be able to play the new Mario Kart on their computer this time next year

Who knows what kind of nasty DRM they've got running this time around even if people can find a way to hack the console and dump games

it'll be a browser exploit. Either they'll ship a full browser as an app or an embedded one for signing into public WiFi. Either way, it'll be the first point of entry while other reverse engineering shit gets figured out. Might not give access to encryption keys or enable homebrew but these devices are always broken eventually.
