I think there's a fairly significant difference between an emulator
that will load and display an "insert ROM" image (eg. NES, SNES), and
one that requires a specific non-free image in order to be able to do
anything at all (eg. PSX BIOS images).
The first is analogous to requiring media; you see what the console
displays if a cartridge isn't inserted. The second is the same as
requiring a non-free library for which there is no free replacement.
(I'm not aware of any free replacement PSX BIOSes.)
Agreed, fully.
