The only major monetary value I see to these emulators on Switch is: - an extra thing to make the money you're paying to play Mario Kart/Smash/etc online with your friends a bit easier to stomach - an extra multiplayer option to have when your friends are bored of the other games Gameboy games don't offer much of the latter and I think the general response to seeing GB games on a big screen at this stage is probably closer to "I can't believe it was so primitive!" than anything else. When you go past the number of people who use emulators on PC/android devices, the number who engage in netplay services is astronomically low because it requires a bit of effort on both sides. I'd imagine the novelty of easy access functional netplay is probably worth drastically more than a more complete or better optimised set of emulation options, and even then it's not worth that much.
