Why is Nintendo in particular this aggressive against emulators? Why haven't we heard of Sony going after PCSX2 and RPCS3, or Microsoft going after Xenia and Xemu?

It is likely due to age and popularity. At this point PCSX2 is the only widely popular emulator you've listed, but is older, in the same way Dolphin is old and less of a concern of harming their limelight. That isn't to say those other emulators aren't making waves lately, but there is a window between age and popularity that makes this software a prime target. Especially emulators for current gen, which has been historically very rare, and when it did exist were no where near as good as CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx were.

In general I'd agree, although Citra feels like an exception. I'm not quite sure why they targeted that one so hard.

I'd guess it is because the most popular way to acquire games for Citra was Nintendo's own servers
