Yuzu was taken down because it contained DRM-bypassing code AND they had infiltrated their Discord and has proof that they were sharing ROMS, even of games that were not out yet. Even their grounds of Yuzu bypassing their DRM would have bene sketchy (Dolphin does the same thing) at best hence why the slam-dunk accusation of them flat out pirating ROMs. They had just sent a guy to jail and he now owes them money for the rest of his life over something similar, and Nintendo basically offered to just have them hand over everything and close the company and they can just walk away and pretend it never existed. Basically they had them by the balls and gave them an out that they knew if they didn't take they would likely get fucked royally.
Ryujinx they had no case against, and it was in Brazil which is about China levels of "Go shove it Nintendo" caring about their copyrights if they tried, so they paid the author off. A multi-billion dollar corp coming to your relatively poor house and going "Hey, if you stop that emulator that you are working on for free and will likely be forgotten in a few years anyway we will give you a huge sack of cash" is a hard offer to resist.
So not only is Yuzu not even close to the same case, but they didn't even have a case against Ryujinx, which came back up under different devs. These could not be further examples of decompiling a game (which actually falls under legal reverse enginering laws) and only distributing code.
