Your answer is right in the article, it shouldn't be that baffling.

No one is campaigning to get rid of the beautiful modern 4k OLED displays and return to CRTs for everything. But for low resolution content (retro games and computers) it looks better on a CRT.

There's pretty good modern emulation of the look, but at the end of the day it's a different technology and they do look different.

Not to mention the feel of playing through a near-zero latency analogue signal is noticeable if you've played enough of certain games. There's a reason speedrunners of retro games all play on console with a CRT.
