What is the advantage of this "emulator for ESP32" compared to a regular one?

I just read that it uses the SoC (System on a Chip) technology. And it's a board. So perhaps this means that the emulation will be closer to the real thing?

The emulator is in alpha stage , There are probably better emulators already programmed, one of the advantages of this one is that it supports VGA output, to connect to CRT monitors, by example.

The objective is to develop an emulator that can run on low-cost boards based on the ESP32 microcontroller.
This approach will allow it to be installed in original cases or in contemporary ones designed by enthusiasts. CPC ESP can be flashed on boards at a cost of less than €20 (with shipping costs included), therefore allowing anyone who wants to have access to a low-cost Amstrad again.

I mean, it's lovely to be able to do that on a 10-20 euro board, but why? Why not a huuugely /s more expensive SBC like a pi or its dozens of lookalikes?
