I find the "preservation" argument interesting. It forces me to imagine a scenario where 80 years from now, Breath of the Wild is lost to the world, and some former VGChartz user comes riding to the rescue, having saved the emulated version for all those years.

The games that are most at risk of being lost are the unpopular games that people aren't playing. If it's about preservation, where are the threads about emulating those games?

Trends come and go in spite of popularity ... 

Preservation is arguably for older demographics who want to experience content in the past that is nearly lost and I imagine unpopular games still have such audience too ...
