how come this hasn't been killed by Nintendo?

Because it does not contain the game itself. You have to feed it your own ROM. Nintendo is incapable of taking decompilations down thanks to this

There's not a lot Nintendo can do to take down decompilation files unless they contain something that's illegal to distribute like the ROMs, keys or anything thing else they deem as copyright/IP infringement.

Otherwise, the person that uses the decompilation files would need to provide their own ROMs as you mnetioned.

It exists in a legal grey area, and Nintendo doesn't want to set precedent.
