I also don't see how people being comfortable with something somehow stalls technological progress.

Yes it does, assuming we are speaking of comfortable in its definition of adequate or sufficent. If everyone believes zsnes is adequate and sufficient, less people will be inclined to develop new emulators. If a lot of people think zsnes (and other emulators) is/are inadequate/obsolete/missing feature, there's more chances some of them will start the project of programming a new emulator. The obvious is that all inventions were not driven by the same forces the same way, as an example some things are discovered by luck (by researching something else). More obviously, the first SNES emulator was not created because the previous SNES emulator sucked.
