If it's a "prime piracy machine," you play new games by downloading them off the internet and transferring them to the console.

    Yes, but that's not the same as merely putting the console into airplane mode. And it'll be 2 to 3 years before CFWs, homebrew, and piracy will be viable on the Switch 2 (based on the time it required to do the same on the Switch 1, and 3DS).

    Right, but the OP said being unable to go online to update the firmware made it a prime piracy machine. It follows that it has to be jailbroken to qualify as such.

    But it can update the firmware.

    According to those on GBATemp.net, the update server and the eshop server are both different. Your console being banned means it's banned from all the shop services, but console updates still happen.

    I think console updates are semi-forced, so you'll still have to keep the Switch 2 offline and/or keep denying update prompts like usual, even if it's banned.
