Also, it's not like proprietary emulators are neutral towards the goal of preserving their platform, they can actually be detrimental to this goal. If Win3mu becomes more popular that QEMU/Wine, users will raise bug reports against Win3mu and certain issues will be fixed only in Win3mu. When the Win3mu dev loses interest or the platforms that Win3mu runs on become obsolete, those fixes will be lost. God forbid people will have to start running emulators on emulators when the best emulator for a certain platform stops being compatible with modern operating systems.
Sadly, this is already happening. bZSNES is actually a thing now, since so many popular SNES romhacks will only run in ZSNES (i.e. not on real hardware, and not on a more accurate emulator like Snes9X or Higan), but ZSNES is written in 32-bit x86 assembly and contains a massive security hole that's been known for a while but hasn't been fixed.
It's even described as "a portable ZSNES emulator".
