They are denying you access to the service rather than your hardware. I prefer how Nintendo goes about it (locking hacked device) compared to Valve or Sony where your entire game library gets locked. As someone with a banned Switch I think that’s fair, I can pirate things on it anyway.
Say you get VAC banned, your entire library can’t play VAC multiplayer games. If you hacked in Splatoon you buy a new Switch but your library is retained.
You can still play any multiplayer game, you just can’t play on VAC-enabled servers anymore. The best way to prevent being VAC banned is don’t cheat on multiplayer games. If you do, you deserve having your account VAC banned.
