Because there is a project philosophy, there are rules and ideals, a universal architecture to adhere to and tons of other things. Oher emulators, especially those that emulate a single system for the purpose of playing games, can take shortcuts to make things run faster. MAME's approach to emulation is different, for a start it's not about making games playable under emulation by any means possible.
Maybe the first paragraph here will help you understand: http://mamedev.org/about.html
And this: http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/FAQ:Performance
You can read about some of the problems involved in emulating Naomi here (warning: Maths): http://forum.mamedev.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=100 If that doesn't put it into perspective for you, I don't know what will.
