"The demographic" wants something that appeals to "The demographic" because they think that the mere presence of a demographic (however small) means that it's worth making a product that caters to that demographic.
It costs quite a lot to make a nicely-cased platform for retro gaming. It costs a lot to develop the hardware, and it costs a lot to make development kits to give for free to interested developers who can actually give you something that's going to sell the hardware - because let's be honest, a platform is only as good as the things that are available on it, it doesn't sell itself.
Doing all of this costs on the order of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars right at the outset, before you've had time to recoup your losses in licensing fees. Atari, Nintendo, and Sega could afford it due to arcade profits. Sony could afford it because of consumer electronics. Microsoft could afford it because it was already wildly profitable in the 80's and 90's due to MS-DOS and Windows.
"The demographic" that you're talking about either doesn't exist or is so vanishingly small that making a dedicated console for such a demographic is financial suicide.
