No, an android phone is expected to be powered on and used constantly by random users. A device emulator bundled with a developer suite is an entirely different context. The charitable assumption here is just that laziness and deadlines prevailed, it opens it once and leaves it open, they don't expect the emulator to be run constantly, and it's expected that the code your emulator is running is what you're developing, the burden of security is quite low when it comes to developer's tools, there's a tremendous amount of implied trust.
