what's being circumvented here is the encryption of Wii games. the primary purpose of Dolphin is not to decrypt Wii games, it is to emulate them (in other words, make them interoperable with PC hardware, as pointed out later). the circumvention of encryption is a necessary part of emulation, but it's not the primary purpose.
on top of that, 'e' is the only base b such that d/dx b^x = b^x. every other base induces some multiplicative factor in the derivative, hence why it's considered the 'natural' base for exponentials and logarithms.
