Guarantee you it doesn't. Maybe the SCREEN looks like it's not lagging, but your fire press/joystick response isn't. No way you'll convince me otherwise. NOBODY has a Pi that isn't like that, even with the best overclock.

I'm sorry to contradict you, but my Raspberry Pi 4 loaded with the image I provide runs the MAME Roms that I cheerish at 100% speed with NO LAG whatsoever. I'm used to play an arcade game called Gun.Smoke and I can assure you that the game is rendered PERFECTLY on all fronts. Many many other games plays PERFECTLY too with no lag, nor input lag.

I watched your YouTube video (we have the same couch) and I'm curious if you still get that kind of performance using a front end?

I only play a few arcade games, but the Atari ST and Amiga emulation on the Pi is pretty good (not perfect).
Daphne has a bug on the controller I use so I have to use the keyboard or Xbox controller, but it runs flawlessly.
The Pi3 is fine (as I had it in a cabinet previously) but keeps powering on at the most odd times.
I am putting the blame on the USB charger that I purchased from Amazon. It must be fluctuating the power and tripping the pi to power up.
I might have to move to the Pi4. :)

Here is an Excel file with some of the ROMs I tested very recently with MAME 0.232 with a 5 minutes MAME benchmark (mame -bench 300 <romname>):

The file provide the Average Speed in percentage. For a ROM to play at full speed, worst case you need 200% Average Speed (with fluctuations in CPU consumption) and others will run fine at 100% if the CPU consumed by the emulation is stable.
I tested with Attract Mode and AdvanceMENU front-ends and the performance is exactly the same as if I use the MAME GUI.
Grasshopper:
Yep. Anyone who claims that a Pi can't handle these old games is at least 5 years out of date. A Pi4 will comfortably run everything up to and including Dreamcast at full speed.
