→PlatformIdFuji -> PlatformIdRcd?
That's a very good point. The string "PlatformIdFuji" is official, it was found in a leftover dev title (can't remember which one but I believe it was a version of DevMenuCommand) around the time service "ndd" was added (and later removed) to "ldn" by mistake. However, this was way before mklive was released. I only came to learn about the "rcd" namespace from mklive strings and my best guess is that "rcd" is indeed an umbrella namespace for the framework itself. "Fuji" was most likely a pre-release codename and might have been deprecated since, but no new strings/symbols have surfaced again so it's difficult to tell for sure.

:: For what it's worth, the kart is still called "Fuji." The "rcd" toolkit that appears in mklive implements a whole RPC protocol; the typename strings suggest it's fairly templated, and some of the templates implementing remote services are called "FujiControlClient," "FujiUpdateClient," "FujiPairingClient," and so on. There's also a "handshake" protocol which lacks any references to "Fuji," which suggests the Fuji*Client are specific to the kart, while the "handshake" is more generic. And to top it off, the kart calls itself "Fuji" (in an ASCII string, no less!) while handshaking.
:: From what you've said, it feels to me like Nintendo were originally intending the kart to be a one-off gimmick (hence the rcd tech wasn't considered separate from the "Fuji" project yet), but then decided they liked the idea of making RC toys that interoperate with the Switch, so they decided to spin off "rcd" as its own thing. I'm going to go ahead and make that edit; feel free to revert if you disagree.
