No idea why those who own the IP don't just either open source them or release them into the public domain

Because licensing is complicated and likely they are not the sole owners of all technology involved in doing so and there's no perceived benefit for them to do that unless they feel like they can make money on it somehow.

I mean selling emulators or something is a way to make money.
I'd buy a gameboy repo in a heart beat. Or, maybe something with an SD card/chip that ran the roms; and if it came from nintendo, chances are pretty solid it'd acutally work 90% of the time.
