They do have a tendency to chase after those who are emulating active systems as opposed to deprecated consoles.

Not even. There was an emulator for the Wii U while the console was still seeing new releases, and no "chasing" happened. Similarly, there are at least 2 Switch emulators in development, and I haven't heard of any legal trouble from their side. Same for the 3DS, etc.

There has been at least one case of such a lawsuit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Sony_lawsuit

Bleem was amazing. I remember the emulator itself had copy protection that baffled cracking groups for longer than anything I'd seen at the time.
