So files like this will probably stay in the codebase indefinitely?

I am aware that they do not make Emacs "worse", performance-wise. I
just think linting files for those unused stone-age systems is
beneficial at least in the sense of alleviating a certain "museum
piece vibe" of Emacs.

I prefer the latter.  This issue is so minor that we've already
invested way too much energy in it.  There's no tangible benefit in
obsoleting these tiny files.
