ROM gaming is very similar to HAM radio. It is difficult to understand, share, and use.

Eh, maybe for Gen-Z ers not used to thinker. My non-geek GF was playing with MAME32 in mid 2000's.

Your GF was doing that really doesn't change what's going on today. Back in 90's I was able to download FULL mame without writing and begging on strange forums to find out what's needed for the particular game. It is a gatekeeping community and hard to play mame games today. I bet your GF cannot download a single game by googling today and can start to play from scratch within 1 hour after downloading mame. Or not even the same day. It takes time to find these things today.
