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?

You remember old TV-s and radios making weird noises when a cellphone next to them got a call? Yeah, radio frequency interference is a thing. But if a piece of analog electronics just makes a funny noise, then the same funny noise in digital electronics is complete nonsense data that does not compute. That can in some extreme cases just brick devices if it gets saved instead of data that was supposed to mean something.
