Are you pining for the days storage tube roamed the earth? At least
there's an emulation here:

Hasn't good old xterm done Tektronix emulation (4012 or 4014?) since
like the 1980's (X11R3-ish)?
Yes, it has.
The appearance is closer to the original displays.
Oh, and also Tek4010 has some things xterm doesn't, like a "write-
through mode". I don't know the details, but apparently it's a way to
display short-lived graphics rather than persistant.
Ah, so this is a bit more of a "simulator" then.
I don't want to get into the emulator versus simulator semantics can of
worms. I'll just note that neither xterm nor Tek4010 models the
internal states of the machines, only the outwards visible behaviour.
But the latter does so in greater detail.
I think it's cool to do ARDS, a machine for which there is almost no
software, data, or barely any collective memory at all.
