The answers are all correct. "Speed" and "Correct emulation" are not necessarily tied together. MAME targets getting emulation 100% accurate from a code execution standpoint. Improving driver accuracy can actually slow a game down from a playability standpoint.
MAME source won't ever be modified for an increase in playability if it doesn't reflect an improvement in driver accuracy. Other emulators may use hacks to improve playability, which won't happen here.
