ScummVM isn't an emulator, it's a collection of game engines based on reverse engineering and, on occasion, original source code donations.

I stand corrected, although from a policy-making perspective ScummVM allows users to run software acquired through ways not sanctioned by Apple (or owners of the original IPs), which I believe is the major part of why emulators are not allowed on App Store and thus bears a similarity to them in that particular aspect.

It's trivial to purchase the games legally on GOG & Steam so this does not seem particularly relevant

Is there any philosophical difference in playing your game using ScummVM versus playing a JavaScript game on some website using Safari for iOS?
