It's hindered by the fact that it is a PowerPC machine.
That's one major con for all the pros it has.
Why does this affect the console?
Well, first of all we have the problem of RetroArch cores.
Due to the Wii/Wii U having a PowerPC architecture, cores which already have a dynamic recompiler implemented on other consoles have a very poor performance on the Wii U, because for the Wii U it can only run on interpreter mode due to the lack of dynarec.
This is what's keeping certain cores/emulators like PSX and N64 to shine on the Wii U, PSP as well and perhaps even Dreamcast cores might be affected due to this.
That is one huge drawback against it, and the Switch has that on its favour.
It uses a much more familiar architecture to emulators, which is ARM64. Afaik most, if not all, cores already work and/or have a dynarec for said architecture.

are you?
Goodluck emulating a Wii or Gamecube at full speed on the Switch. The Wii U has this shit built into it.
Retroarch cores might make more use of the Switch, but I doubt that. Dreamcast emulators on PC still suck in 2018. Im not expecting anything amazing on the Switch home-brew scene.
well for wii and gc games you cant beat wiiu really since they run perfectly and always full speed since not emulated lol.
but i hope to see the switch getting full speed n64 emulator, i doubt it will ever run dreamcast with a 1ghz cpu tbh.
imo dolphin will never run all games fullspeed on switch, shield has 2ghz cores wich for emulation are needed, switch with locked 1ghz cpu wont emulate anything that wiiu couldnt really, all im hopping to see is n64 and psx with dynarec really and that is about it tbh.

LOL! We are all different. Nothing's wrong with that.

Uh sorry buddy but the Wii, 3DS, and Switch have much better scenes than the Wii U. Especially the Wii.

The post was about homebrew scenes, not emulators. A homebrew scene isn't just emulators. The Wii and 3DS destroy the Wii U in terms of the amount of control people had over them via homebrew.
