I think they’re going for the Analogue market. Real hardware for real cartridges, built to modern standards (like HDMI).
Two problems:
Analogue consoles are all FPGA. This isn’t. It’s more like the Hyperkin consoles from that perspective.
I’m not sure how much demand (read: nostalgia) there is for these older consoles these days. At retro game conventions I haven’t seen much. It’s mostly NES and later.
Atari probably could have won over some of that market if they used an FPGA, but they’ve gotten this wrong again and again by contracting with companies who put an emulator on a SOC in a box.
