No surprise here. Those were idiots trying to profit from someone else’s labour. It’s not illegal to sell a retro gaming console capable of playing gba games (to name one), what’s illegal, and these imbeciles should have known is to sell them full of licensed games.
I really couldn’t care less that they sell consoles that allow you to play like what 30 year old games. I find it very problematic that apparently these devices weren’t compliant to safety regulations in the EU, but otherwise who cares?

Well deserved imho.

Not having a certification doesn’t mean it’s not compliant.
It’s probably compliant, but they didn’t want to pay €50k to get it certified
Important detail I guess. In that case I wouldn’t care at all.
If you’ve built it reasonably right, that’s not what it costs.
Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification
Although a headline like “3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized” isn’t as strong
