Think of it like the NES or SNES mini. People just want something they can turn on and it plays things, especially when it's an official one. Sure, you could set up an emulator with all the games, but that isn't a pick-up-and-play solution. Setting up a MAME cabinet is more work than the average person would want, and the Arcade 1UP games are a pretty simple and stylish solution for them.
I say this as someone who has spent a lot of time getting arcade rhythm games running at home on a PC (and hopefully getting some actual cabinets in the near future). It can be a lot of trial and error to fine tune everything to work properly.
