Why run an emulator when you can just run the original?

Yes.

Most people think in terms of applications, not operating systems.
Only geeks care about which operating system is running.

There isn't any. That's why emulation serves no purpose. The product
already runs fine under Windows.

I agree ... what's the problem? Why run Photoshop under Linux when it
already runs better under Windows?

As far as I know, none of what I'm running was originally written for
the Mac, but I may be wrong. If you are thinking of Adobe, they now
write their applications for Windows, and then port them to the Mac.

The number of viruses that exist reflects the popularity of an
operating system, not its quality. There are many viruses for Windows
because almost everyone runs Windows.
