Game Tech Wiki has everything you'd ever want to know about CRT shaders
An impressive effort has been made to replicate the exact appearance of old CRT televisions on modern LCD and OLED panels. The page I've linked is very well written.

As a 90s kid it's pretty funny to see, we were so impressed with every new increase in graphic fidelity in games and TV. The idea of deliberately trying to replicate a CRT nowadays tickles me
Ii don't think it's replicating it for the shake of it. It's more, kind of, to experience pixel art closer to the way it was designed.
It depends. Graphics weren't spiky pixels as you can recall. That produced a far softer image, aside from scanlines and all the other stuff.
By now I can hardly play retro games from that time without shader, since the impression is auch a difference.
And I always was a pc player (from 8086/8088 on) and my consoles from mega drive on always used scart.
Still.
Oh I love the nostalgia of it all of course. But we couldn't wait to get rid of CRTs at the time is all. Such is life
I agree!
