Speed and ease of use emulating other platforms

How is it any easier or faster to have the emulation booted off some disk first and only after that launching the actual target system? I'll take the method of launching the emulator directly, instead.

I was just thinking emulation would/could have been more practical had it been written on and for more of a hardware level than software.

Putting something to KS ROM doesn't make it any more "hardware level" than having it as a separate program to run. ROM is just read only memory to store software to.
