Pokémon Sword and Shield - Japanese SWSH Errors Info?

Is this bricking shit actually real or just some folks trying to make the games look even worse?
I don't see any of this stuff mentioned anywhere else other than 4chan and sometimes here. Even Reddit has seemingly stopped aknowledging the brick thing too after that hacker dude said it was all bullshit.

You'd think this would be much more widespread considering how well the game is selling. I wouldn't even be asking this if I weren't such a paranoid fuck.
