I'll give it a try. Wii U's CPU is very similar to the one used on Wii and GC, just beefed up. I believe that this sped up the development of an emulator. With Dolphin, even Wii emulations was usually easier and more reliable than even PS2 emulation.

While this was possibly true on one-hand, the GPU for 7th generation (level) consoles were apparently a bitch to emulate until DX12 released. That is probably what lead to the breakthrough.
