You have to hand it to mocrospft though in the console department, xbox generally dont have software hacks to jailbreak consoles historically (generally hard mods), but nintendo and sonys OS is usually riddled with exploits.

The WiiU had far.backeards compatibility and very low population, but was not immune to exploits.

Officially wii, had built in emulators for old retro consoles and stuff, and unofficially gamecube.

The reason no one cares to crack the Xbox isn’t because of MS security let’s get real. It’s not like MS all of a sudden became competent on that one thing.

To add to this, not one person has jail broken a steam deck. Not because it is impossible, but because it would be pointless.

Would removing the immutable aspect be, in theory, a jailbreak?

To expand on this, most of the developers who make these jailbreaks openly disavow their use for piracy, and focus more on homebrew applications. Since Microsoft lets you sideload any app you want in Dev Mode, there’s no incentive to unlock Retail Mode, whereas other console makers have no such system and thereby get targeted more
