Just another smoke and mirrors cure all.

Really a massage with emu oil will do some therapeutic good but probably no more than a massage with any other oil.

As emus are either endangered or close to it, it is probably better to stick to olive oil.

No they aren't. In fact they are at the other end of the spectrum of the conservation status of Least Concern meaning they have a large and stable population.

Oil production come from farmed birds.

Emus may not be endangered overall, but a large proportion of their habitat is gone, and one subspecies almost extinct.
The coastal emu is now only found around Yamba-Iluka in northern NSW on the eastern seaboard, whereas it used to be widespread.
Farming emus is something different, but can be done if done so responsibly.

Never heard of emu oil before.
I used to knit with Emu yarns (100% wool).
