This is also the position taken by the Michigan State University Libraries.
The university expects that retired faculty will continue to participate in
active scholarship, and they continue to have access to a variety of
supporting services, including remote access to licensed content. I have
asked around in the past among some of our peers, and they hold the same
position.

This question might be worth a few "me too"s, given the increasing
complexity of some licenses. Our perspective is that Emeritus Faculty are
"Faculty" (i.e., authorized users) for the purpose of access to licensed
resources. Most of them are active scholars who retain their affiliation
with our institution, including faculty email accounts and other
University/Library privileges. And this is a small population anyway.

Dear Steve,

This doesn't answer your excellent question below directly, but I work with
several Emeritus Faculty who definitely have access to their library's
respective licensed electronic resources.

You are correct of course in noting they retain an ".edu" faculty email
account.
