Emulators are total legal to have on your computer. What’s not legal is downloading the rom for a game you don’t actually own.

BUT, in this modern world, it’s difficult to obtain older video game consoles and games due to their cost, limited supply, collectors, etc. So, I feel most developers mostly don’t care too much for roms being found online, in addition that many of these games development companies don’t even exist anymore.

That's really true. Like this entire post. I mean there's some games available for the virtual console but some games are never going to reach that. Like I got Witch's Take for the DS emu. That's never gonna see the light of day again. As well as most of the Shin Megami Tensei catalogue that's not a Persona or a handheld. 

Also have you seen the price of a PS1 game. I'd die.
