You're selectively quoting me - I said it's 'legacy emulated'. It's emulated using very long-form microcode, so basically emulated in software. I didn't say it was simply 'legacy'.
I’m completely out of my depth reading through these comments so I don’t have much of value to contribute, but I do think I can gently say I think the selective quoting was harmless, but deliberate to fit the shape of a harmless joke’s setup. I don’t think there was any intent to misrepresent your more salient information.
