I defy your assertion that both societies are similarly happy.

I never asserted that. All I said is that telepaths appear to be happy, and the rest appear to be "normal".

Ems allow for so many more possibilities.

Indeed. I was simply trying to come up with a scenario where there is an option to live in a "thoughts and feelings set on public" society, and sims seem like a decent model of it.
