Well don't get me wrong, I'm not poo-pooing emulators. I use them

Well, for
"classic OSs". Some of us are actually interested in
the hardware. ;)
Well, sure. The hardware is there, although not progressing,
either. But, the end result and purpose of computer hardware is to
run software. At least we've got THAT going for us. If nothing
else, having a functional equivalent emulator allows one to work
out software for the hardware involved, and do it faster, on a
"bigger" machine, so when the hardware comes up, you can just load
it up and go... Don't expect to make me feel guilty about being
more easily able to enjoy my hobby than you. Won't happen.
