Just look back to the PowerPC days of Apple, although PowerPC at the time was faster than Intel, the x86 emulator, VirtualPC, was an absolute dog. Somebody could certainly write an x86 emulator, but why bother? Microsoft will be more interested in selling you a Windows in the Cloud VM than providing any support for Windows to run like a comparative sloth under emulation on the M1. Apple has started their ARM game as far forward as possible, to not fall into the Intel/AMD trap(1), at least not for the next 10 years or so. And then, it will only runly ARM64 code, not ARM32 code, so some Windows ARM software won’t work on the M1 Mac even then (Apple has explicitly built the ARM32 compatibility out of the M1, it is a pure 64-bit chip, it won’t even run ARM32 iOS apps). The only solution at the moment is to run Windows on ARM in a virtual machine (Parallels) on the Mac. One part of the problem is that Rosetta can only run 圆4 code, it can’t run x86.
