I mean the statement was heavily implied to be anecdotal to my experience but I'll add to it by also saying I haven't met a single person who runs an emulator console using anything but raspberry pi hardware.
What are the 98 out 100 people that you know using? Mini desktops?
You're just speaking of dedicated emulator systems? I'd agree with those numbers of yours then. I was just speaking of what people use to emulate old games in general. Almost everyone just uses a pc, laptop, or cell phone. The numbers for dedicated systems that look like retro Gameboys and stuff like that are outnumbered by like 100 to 1.
