The Paula (amiga chip) e.g. cannot reproduce a classical scale, because of limited bit precission [1], producing chracteristic harmonies.

For the SID, there's probably just not enough engineering going into emulation, as enthusiast prefer the original experience anyway.

The sid is quite well emulated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReSID
