Wii Emulation is further ahead than Dreamcast emulation
This seems weird to me, although I am certain there is a reason for it that is not obvious to me.

Emulation wasn't really a thing when the Dreamcast was out, was it? And once it hit, there was more demand for Wii emulation than for Dreamcast emulation, because the Wii was a current thing.
Nintendo is more popular?
I'm pretty sure it's because the Wii is more popular than Dreamcast. Also, I think the Wii works somewhat similarly to the GameCube.
I want to say it is more the dreamcast GPU being much harder to properly emulate at a decent speed than anything else.
When the Dreamcast came out, 8-bit and 16-bit emulation was already a pretty significant thing. The jump in computing power at that time made emulating 16-bit consoles pretty trivial.
In 1999, Sony bought the creators of a commercial Playstation emulator to court. They didn't actually win, but they did manage to drive them out of business with legal fees.
