Modern platforms want you to pay again for games you've already played and paid for. As long as we keep buying closed platforms that do not support emulators this is what we get.

Very true. While I don't mind buying some games over again on a newer platform, I am a bit frugal about it. I won't just buy another copy of Super Mario Bros 3 but how Nintendo handled it on the Game Boy Advance, or earlier in Super Mario All-Stars on the Super Nintendo, then I am inclined to support it. Now, if it is just a straight port and there are no extras added other than convenience of a newer platform and higher screen resolution that offers, then I usually won't search out something and buy it.
Now, newer games in the style of the classics is another story altogether. The problem, as outlined in the article, is finding either newer classic style games or even the classics themselves.
I have a PC for emulation purposes. I do a lot of videos and screen capturing for reviews and other coverage like for game hacks.
