Sure, when the service and games are decommissioned it would make sense. But Konami is still churning these games out every 9 months to a year.
I find your response just a bit weird; it's a nice break down of niche and likely easily lost technology once Konami et. al. are done with it. It's a nice read, well written, serves those looking to archive these games in the future, and also is a great high level overview of the reverse engineering process.
Is the issue that it has no immediate benefit to you?
