Umm it was already "hacked" last year except you really mean "capable of playing pirated games".

You're joking right? Phantasy Star Online Ep 1 & 2 inadvertently allowed an exploit to be loaded over the network. It was so bad that Sega pulled the games off the shelves and made an updated version called 1 & 2 Plus.
>interest of people capable of finding exploits
>Interest of people to develop or announce such things

>interest of people to create homebrew
>interest of end-users to jump through the hurdles
That chain usually is a bit of a hurdle that is more likely to occur the longer a console is out. The likely-hood increases if the console is popular, difficult, has interesting exclusives, or portable, or the parent company doesn't have a history of going after people who hack their consoles.
Various reasons, but they're probably less secure as well.

Pokemon. That's basically the end goal is to have hacked 'mons.
You've got a good point here.
Yes, Nintendo's consoles are more popular and their games don't loose their replay value so fast, unlike other consoles games that keep getting re-released as remakes and re-(add whatever you can think of here). Sure, Nintendo is also doing remakes, but considering that all their remakes are exclusives of Nintendo's consoles, they get more attention, and generate more hype than those games you can play on other consoles and even on PC.
In the security side, it might be true, that Nintendo's consoles are less secure, but also their popularity make them ideal for console tempers seeking knowledge, fame or whatever they like. When a console is popular is a great console to hack, unless those that nobody want to play, like the Japan + XBOX brand = Fail from MS.
Gamecube was hacked quite early. There were modchips and PSO exploits with streaming games over ethernet, it wasn't particularly practical.
Not really true at all.
Wii was a problem of heavy backwards compatibility
Wii U was hacked a month after release but nothing was done for obvious reasons
GameCube didn't have code signing at all
3DS was broken in 2012, piracy sold for a year and a half and finally came into something usable by 2015
Xbox was broken in months
Xbox 360 had free games in months, full access after one year
Xbox One, lack of interest
PS2, bootlegs after one year
PS3, came with Other OS and meant nobody cared to hack it
PSP, exploits soon after launch in 2005, no signing on initial launch
PS4, been hacked since 2015
So, not really. It's just this generation, the incentive for hacking is way less - and often times Nintendo is poor implementation, not even exploits.

Nintendo overall has more exclusive and (imo) more fun games to play.
Its just the love and passion from the fans who want to see how this thing works, and eventually want to mod the games to make it a little of their own.

edit this !!!
no way team xecuter did hack the switch !!!
Actually the first one was ReSwitched with the Pegasus exploit....
To answer that, let's consult former US president Barack Obama:
"Yes, we can."
And I'd advise OP to learn more about the past of hacking before posting. X1 as said before has some viable alternative to hacking, the PS4 is open since the 1.76 hacks and now more than ever with a 4.55 kexploit released and a 5.0x kexploit currently kept private.
Then there are the X360 and PSP, which weren't mentioned at all. How inconvenient for the point made would it be to find out those had been lacking good security measures and have been hacked to a point where backups were able to be played on them within a shorter timespan than the Switch...
And if OP doesn't even disclose what in their opinion is seen as a hack, I could argue that the Vita was hacked day one (though the same perspective could pretty much be applied to the Wii U then).
Just my two cents.

actually it was you could install a wider cd drive that plays normal cd to play pirated geames
That’s far from always, go back a few generations. Really only switch and 3ds were quickly hacked.
a thread from early this year nice, OP, what about the PSP? it was hacked like at launch pratically..
sony shipped japan consoles with firmware 1.0, in US they come with 1.5 to solve security exploit, which later was also easily exploited, i may be incorrect, but i believe this is what happened?

the size of the discs has nothing to do with it, mini dvd's are easily purchased, they where also used by cameras at that time

That's exactly what happened. I remember my brother and I both had 1.50 PSPs and the games we had wanted to play had firmware updates on them. I didn't known the PSP was already hacked so we updated. Needless to say we had to wait for downgrading in order to play homebrew and emulators. Once Dark_Alex came on to the scene Sony pretty much lost the system. Those were good times.
