Why have RF shields in home electronics? What do they actually do??

Protects your stuff from EM radiation and stuff, but is this really a concern in e.g. a PlayStation 2? Are they a relic from the past? Is there any proof of them harming electronics?

I make electronics and our org tests everything for em interference. When they fail, it is sometimes really obvious. Have a thing with cap touch buttons? Noise makes phantom button presses and turns your shit on and off at random. Com protocols? Half your messages just drop and you have to slow communications or just never get messages.

So we upgrade the hardware and firmware to handle the em so our gear doesn’t suck ass.
