It's just that most of the time actual console OS systems are not really ever released or let alone leaked to anyone not manufacturing the console itself.
The BIOS is just a very small part of a GameCube, and it's in fact one of the few parts that Dolphin can use a native replacement for instead of emulating. What takes time to emulate is the CPU and GPU, and there's no way to get around that.
