We do care about emulation; but as always with open source software projects, the parts that get more care and attention are the parts that people are either paid to work on or are personally interested in. x86 guest emulation in particular is not very well maintained (though it is better than some targets), because mostly people are happy to use x86 hardware, and adding support for emulation of large new architectural features like AVX is a lot of work. If you would like to help improve x86 guest emulation, you are welcome to submit patches to fix bugs or add new features. Merely saying "X should be better and you should somehow magically find three months worth of developer time to make it so" doesn't really do anything to move the situation forwards.
