You're greatly underestimating the amount of people who want a gaming phone ... just one of the paid emulators, ePSXe, it has more than half a million purchases.

500k installs in 3-4 years (roughly 150k per year) sounds impressive, until you compare it to 1.5 billion sales in one year for all android devices! So epsxe's annual installs are only one ten-thousandth (0.0001) the number of new devices per year. Emulation on Android is still extremely niche.

...of course emulation in general is pretty niche, but still, perspective helps!
