how do you suggest to test accuracy of the emulation of each pcb component and of their interaction without running the original code and comparing the output against the real thing?
when even schematics are sometimes inaccurate, the only way to verify whether emulation is good or not is to be capable to run the software and to interact with it as you would in an arcade.
in turn, once the emulation is verified as good, people owing faulty pcbs can use the emulation as a reference to see whether some rom got bitrot or everything is fine

no matter how much you argue, we do not care as much as you about the side effect: it is mostly functional to improve the codebase
if gaming was that important, a lot of crappy hardwares would not have been emulated at all
