How much do you think scanlines are necessary in old games? do you think that by removing them there could be problems with visuals or a crt effect as with sonkun’s shaders or with a real crt the good looking artifacts could disappear?
If you turn them off via a shader it won’t hurt anything at all. They are just a visual effect for the sake of nostalgia/making the game look like it is being played on an old TV. It’s totally up to you if you like them or not.

Of course because they project low res on a higher res (double resolution y) . If you take them out you see full pixels and lower resolution. 480i/p games are already higher res and scanlines not needed.
