plays accurately and imaginatively (i.e., he can improvise). Which he is
doing in that video. Show me a video or recording of anyone else who can
play like he does in this video. Not even Virtuoso, by Joe Pass, is this
good.

Who can say one guy's music must be more meaningful to a listener?I can say this, however: Beck, Hendrix, Lennon and hosts of others have written, played, and interpreted music that is beloved by generations of people. Emmanuel? No, not really.
John Fahey was a brilliant, innovative, and highly influential guitarist that I had the pleasure of hearing, both when he was a young firebrand and when he was a wasted old man (I saw one of his very last--- if not the very last--- public performances in a tiny bar in Eugene, Oregon-- he played music such as I'd never heard before or since, truly original and beautiful).
As far as guitar heroes, like Emmanuel: I think Roy Buchanon, if speed is the criteria, equals or surpasses him---- and the music does, too.
