Isn't Yuzu a good counter example?

Yuzu’s downfall was not the repo, it was their Discord. They were sharing DRM cracking keys on there and getting paid $30K/month on Patreon. It’s the same reason most emulators require you to bring your own BIOS.
It does not sound relevant to me, because that was a case of "video game piracy". It was not about the name per se.
