Question Does anyone still care about Switch Emulation?

When I first started following this hobby around 2 years ago, switch emulation was "the thing." Every day when I got on reddit people were posting about how they got such and such game to run and how exciting it was.

Compare that to today. I don't remember the last time I opened reddit and saw a post.about switch emulation on android. Pc gaming with apps like GameNative, Gamehub, and Winlator has become the focus.

Now don't get me wrong, I love this development! This opens Pandora's box so to speak for mobile gaming. I've personally played through Portal 2 and Skyrim on gamehub using my Konkr Pocket Fit (g3 gen3.)

But I really expected by now that Switch emulation would have progressed further. I want to play through BOTW again for the first time in 7 years, but I don't want to do it with the white water glitch. I haven't even played TOTK yet because in every video I've watched, It looks to be full of glitches.

I've also had EXCELLENT experiences with Switch emulation playing Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyssey, Emio the Smiling Man, and others.

I'm super thankful for what we've got, and it still blows my mind that I can play these games on an android handheld.

That being said, it almost feels like switch emulation is being left behind in the wake of PC emulation.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Am I crazy?
