RetroArch is an absolute piece of shit, and there are so many other reasons to not be using it.
If it's growing in popularity it's only because people are stupid / lazy / both and the RA devs will do anything for 'mass appeal' no matter what consequence / impact it might have on the rest of the scene.
Unfortunately competing with that lack of morals is tricky.
