Nintendo Switch support (conceptually)?

Libnx, the Nintendo Switch homebrew library, recently added support for OpenGL. Now that it's possible to use, would it conceptually be possible to port Dolphin to Switch homebrew/how hard would it be to? ~~I'm not volunteering to do it because I don't know nearly enough C/C++ to help~~

It's already been shown running on it:

That video makes it seem kinda gray if it'll be possible. Animal Crossing is a really lightweight game, and it's running not the best on a Linux boot on the switch. MayImilae says that the clocks seem to be set wrong so AC should be running full-speed, but that doesn't say anything for more intensive games. I'd guess it'd be *possible* to run Dolphin on Switch homebrew instead of on Linux, but not that good an experience playing.

It's possible, but nobody is interested in maintaining a jailbroken switch homebrew port right now.
