the reason that is usually touted is that good software emulation can be difficult to do, especially when the console they are emulating has weird proprietary hardware, like the PS2 "emotion engine" (which is why ground textures flicker like a motherfucker in Ace Combat 5 on ps2 emulators) and putting the actual hardware in the console takes up a lot of space and costs money.
but all that said, i want to play my fucking games without paying you over and over and over and over again
PS2 have two slightly different custom vector coprocessor connected to the other processing hardware directly, and many asynchronous bus. It is very complicated.
Do what I do and carry the burden of past systems on your back every time you move. I never got rid of my childhood consoles so I play on original hardware for the most part.

The boxes are very fucking heavy though.
Free McBoot and Ethernet adapter for PS2 lets you play games over ethernet from your PC. It's pretty great.
