My point is MAME isn't "free", sure gamers can download it for free, but money is needed to dump ROMs, get artwork, etc.
NOTHING is free.
I'd say that a lot of gamers just aren't as interested in what still has yet to be emulated.
I haven't even reinstalled MAME since I got the new PC and I haven't decided what I'm going to do about emulation in general.
But had people not donated their time, money, and PCBs / artwork, MAME wouldn't be what it is at the moment.
Its contributions that make MAME what it is and those contributions aren't "free."
