I'm not saying that they can't do it. A few in particular are talented enough, but remember that the MAME team emulates the hardware that games run on, they barely mess with the software end. So their ability to reverse-engineer hardware has nothing to do with their ability to make a game, which is software.

To give a more basic analogy a team of people working at a dvd player factory aren't going to be good at making films just because they understand the player that they run on.
