I wouldn't call it "extremely unfair".  But then I automatically
inserted "to me" after "mostly irrelevant".

To me, it's still useful.  I particularly appreciate the chance to test
on big endian, and on proprietary Unix (sadly down to one system),
because that helps me keeping my code portable.

A wider selection of machines would make it more useful, of course.

QEMU is good for what it's good for.  Means to cross-check on real
hardware is very useful.  Moreover, non-obsolete real hardware tends to
be quite a bit faster than QEMU.
