I buy every Pi and try to run MechWarrior 2 in dosbox and they've all fallen short. I also have a Surface Go 2 (bought used for $80) w/ 4GB of memory + Pentium Gold and it runs flawlessly.
Relatedly- I find that old hardware is still very capable but ruined by new media codecs that lack HW acceleration. Are the new codecs really worth it when they essentially render whole generations obsolete for media?
Ugh I just loved to play that game. Cool you still do!

I think you just put your finger on why they are so popular. Enshittification will prevail.
