Why is Citra affected by this too? Nintendo isn’t gaining money from 3DS anymore so emulating 3DS doesn’t affect them in any way.

The Yuzu developers are the same team that created Citra. If it wasn’t directly required as part of that settlement, it’s out of an abundance of caution.

Part of the settlement is that the individuals responsible for Yuzu would permanently stop working on circumventing Nintendo’s DRM, and working on Citra could land them a follow-up lawsuit with even harsher penalties for breaking the previous settlement.
