> Every new user seems to think Wine is an emulator
Most new linux users think that Linux=Ubuntu, does that make it correct? Beginners comes with misconceptions and are then being corrected during their learning process, that's how it works.
> Maybe if that many people are mistaken, they're actually right.
This argument is fabulous, it's like fractally broken, let's have a little bit of fun with it:
I'm pretty sure Wine is niche enough that there's more flat-earthers on this planet than people believing wine to be an emulator, does that number makes them right?
And how about the other people, the majority who know Wine isn't an emulator, would you say “maybe if that many people are correct they're actually wrong”?
> I especially don't know who's calling Rosetta 2 "not an emulator,"
Well, Apple.
You're correct though that Rosetta is arguably an emulator (except, a really sophisticated one, with hardware support, to makes it fast enough) unlike all the other (that interestingly enough you don't address) but if you read my comment again you'll see no contradiction (hint: the key word in that sentence is “market”).
