In defense of the original emulation strategy it shipped on time, fit in the ROM, and worked reliably with good compatibility. The first round of PowerPC Macs were so much faster than the 68k Macs than even emulated apps worked better. I don't remember the history any more but Apple did eventually do a new emulator, while Connectix made some other emulation products (PlayStation, PC) and eventually sold to Microsoft. I've read that Connectix people helped seed Microsoft's virtualization efforts.
