Completely on your side, just wondering how far back do we go?
The main difference is probably that many people had a C64 in their bedroom, so there's a lot of childhood nostalgia involved. Fewer people probably had a mainframe computer with punch cards in their bedroom. ;) Such emulation would probably be more interesting from a pure preservation perspective, and be less about nostalgia.
Lol :) Interestingly that same site hosts a project related to the topic of emulated 6502, but not cycle accurate, instead 100Mhz in old Spartan-6 FPGA. Unfortunately not 6510, so no plugin for the 'breadbox':

Can't wait until punchcards make a comeback ;)
Why isn't there an emulation of punch cards using eReaders!

There are usb-c paper tape readers: https://www.e-basteln.de/computing/papertape/overview/
They even work with phones!

But! This reminded me of something else:
Micro Core Labs!
Which can either be cycle accurate, or superfast:

Imagine Durex Forth on that. Ze PoWerRrRr!1!!
Awesome device, it's so small you could attach to a flipper or have a builtin into the flipper.
Also love their motto: "Solving yesterday's problems today" :)
Now for coding doom in ticker tape ... that should fill up the rest of the afternoon!
