Emulators aren't illegal. So why shouldn't they allow it?

If so then how did Nintendo manage to take down yuzu?

By going after the encryption and decryption part rather than the hardware and software emulation part. And having a massive amount of money to spend on lawyers.

Having much greater lawyer force than a couple of developers. Nintendo would win even if they are not right. Or even if not win, those developers would go completely bancrupt for the rest of their lifes because of lawyers costs.

They didn't. Nintendo and Yuzu came to an agreement and settled out of court.
