Emulation doesn’t even solve those server issues though. At most, it will solve the hardware gap where a console won’t let you run a disc - but I can’t think of any times that has happened on modern consoles.

If I buy a singleplayer game on digital, I’d actually generally expect that copy to last longer than if I bought it physically. At worst, someone might hack into my account, but 2FA systems have made that less common.
