That’s like saying because MS Outlook is most widely used it’s good ☺

I don’t dispute cross compiling being practical, but I agree with the
OpenBSD people (wow!) that (only) cross compiling kills architectures.
Similar, although to a lesser extent, can be said about emulating. I

No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD.
