All devs working on an emulator for a modern console act just like Yuzu devs. We just don't have proof of it. If it's being developed for a console that isn't discontinued the purpose is piracy. Always will be. Always has been.
For older consoles piracy has the purpose of increasing access to games no longer being offered. Without piracy and emulation or older consoles only collectors with og hardware would be able to play older games. And in a world where gen Alpha is hooked on Fortnite instead of Pokemon Red/Blue we do not want to limit access to games! Imagine if the og star wars trilogy were only available on original VHS!
As far as emulation being preservation goes, not a single older console is completely dead. Find me a console where zero working units can be found. Until then emulation is accessibility not preservation.
