In this case, the Apple situation makes more sense. They have jumped
MacOS from x86 to ARM, without loosing all of their existing software
base, by running a userland emulator that "doesn't suck".
Seems like the Apple platform has less need for third-party addons that
intrude into the kernel, simply because it has a smaller choice of apps
anyway.
For example, anticheat mechanisms for online games. Fortnite is one I have
seen mentioned, that cannot work with the x86 emulation offered by
Windows-on-ARM. Presumbly this is not a problem on the Mac because
Fortnite is simply unavailable on the Mac.
