This is true, but they are quite old now.

There's a new classic (early 680x0) Mac emulator called Snow:

It's rather more streamlined and simple.

I have only played very briefly so far.

ROMs are on Mac Garden or Archive.org.

For PowerPC MacOS, recently I found the free UTM hypervisor to do a
very good job.

Of course the snag is you need a modern Mac to run this, but it was
fun to run MacOS 9 on my M1 Apple Silicon Mac.

You can run PowerPC MacOS, both 9 & OS X, on bare QEMU quite well now,
but it's not all that easy.

An example:

Needing no setup at all are these amazing in-browser emulators,
covering almost all released versions from 680x0 to PowerPC:
