There’s definitely an argument to be made about how this dev should only be shipping to hundreds, thousands, or millions of personal devices via Nintendo’s infra only what’s printed on the tin.
My hacker nerd side is all giggly.
My security and consumer conscious sides bristle at the idea some dev thought it was a great little in-joke to ship this to unsuspecting users.

That's a very long-winded way of saying, "He should only sell what was advertised."
> unsuspecting users
Nobody is forcing anyone to find or access Easter Eggs. It wasn't malicious nor annoying, it wasn't even accessible unless you attached a keyboard. I haven't seen any backlash from "unsuspecting" buyers, only Nintendo.
I see the potential worries from a security perspective, but as an "unsuspecting" consumer, why would you care?
