The reason for that being is that games for the most part, simply run better on the original console because it is not being emulated and graphical accuracy is always gonna be there. You get the least amount of display lag playing on a console on a CRT vs Dolphin and a CRT monitor, albeit for most the difference will be negligible on that regard, but if we're talking the most optimal accuracy and performance, console wins this area hands down.
I think a better question would be "Is Dolphin a suitable replacement for most people?", and I would say to answer that, "yes".
It's easy to boot up games all in one place on your PC, it's nice viewing games in HD, and if you do have a gaming PC and are at the PC often, it's probably just more convenient to not have to mess with an additional system. There will be hiccups every now and then depending on the game, and some games just aren't emulated as well as others, but a lot of the heavy hitters run well enough and near perfect.
I still don't think Dolphin is outright better than playing on console as it's nice just popping a disc in and not having to worry about any issues or configurations, but Dolphin is an extremely nice emulator and is worth checking out, even if just to play in HD.
If you get a CRT with PC and overclock it to 120hz frame timings divide by half and there is less intut lag in the end. Now if you emulate the controller no matter what there is more lag.
