General enquiries would be more suited honestly.
But here's why they won't ever give you the source code. It would be just like giving you the game for free but would be even more detrimental for them. Not only would that allow someone to be able to make a homebrewed version of the game to then be able to distribute for free, and would be a direct copy of the game, allowing you to also be able to get online with it. Not to mention it would cause a huge tidal flood of hacks, and they would be handing over all of the protections all written in English (or well, comments would be in Japanese, code in English, for the most part, I'd presume, but you get my point.) The source code would also reveal all the secrets about protections, DRM, and even bugs which might end up being useful to the CFW/homebrewing scene to be able to access the switch's firmware.
So no, it's not that I'm not being optimistic. I'm just being realistic.
EDIT: Right, also it'd 100% just be a huge massive breach of multiple NDAs I'd presume. So if you get handed the source code, whoever gave it to you would end up out of a job, and most likely in jail. And you'd be in trouble as well.
