Arnt compatability layers different then emulation? One interfaces directly with the software thru said compat layer and the other pretends to be the thing it's meant to run on.

It's important not to confuse emulator with hardware emulator. (Sadly, this confusion has been common on social media in recent years.)

A system can emulate another system without emulating hardware.
