Secondly – bearing in mind that my noob self can barely understand and follow along the words here in this post – what do they mean with “kernel patching”?
Do they insert something into a blob at the right offset to not be “noticed”? Have they somehow obtained a source version of iOS?
Yeah, actually (if I’m getting this correctly)… Stepping further out, how do you emulate closed-source hardware and software?

Not a software engineer, but it's something like a console where the hardware is known and enough Jailbreaks are known that they can make a hardware emulator that can run enough of the software to have a limited experience similar to original hardware depending on what the app calls for. They're usually not dealing with source except with what they've been able to reassemble and guess at until it works.
