Macintosh.js is one download and ships with a handful of interesting productivity tools and games. Why Basilisk II cannot do the same (one is as legal as the other) is an open question.
I'm a bit of an emulator hobbyist and have played with the native version of Basilisk II. If you weren't an outsider and part of the communities on reddit/discord you'd know the torrents trackers to use (public and private). Sure, there are shady sites, but that's not the emulators fault. And the fix is definitely not killing the good performance of a native emu by transpiling it to JS. Improved documentation could help send new users down a better path.

A previous employer was once sent a C&D by the lawyers of a well-known British corporation, demanding that my employer stop distributing a certain app, apparently oblivious that said corporation had paid my employer to make and distribute that app on their behalf in the first place.
Left hand, meet right hand.
Back in the late 90's/early 00's we had it more difficult to finish a lot of emulation tasks because you couldn't get these with ease.
Now you can set System 7.5.3 with ease and legally except the ROM.
I think the Gen-Z generation it's pretty much spoiled and this should be changed.
