More than anything because of the dependencies of the different games on that hardware and not only on MS-DOS.
Of course, remember that it is an emulator of a PC from yesteryear, we are not running old games directly on the hardware of our PC, so this has a limit on what it can do and you will not be able to run those titles that require DirectX. Well, all these components are perfectly emulated and without performance problems in DOSBox. The other point is the hardware dependencies, the most veteran of the place will remember, for example, sound cards such as the Sound Blaster, the Gravis UltraSound, the Roland MT-32 or if we talk about video, the S/VGA standards, Hercules, CGA/ EGA. Do current computers have a floppy drive? In any case, if you bought the games back in the day and want to enjoy them again, it’s the best option. Do not worry, it is not piracy since they have been abandoned by the will of their developers or because their creator company no longer exists. However, we may have found a collection of abandonware games on some network and we want to enjoy them. If you have ever bought a game on GOG you will see that many of them are already ready to run in a self-contained version of DOSBox and already configured so that said title works without problems. 2 How to configure DOSBox? What’s so special about the MS-DOS emulator?
