Huh, that’d be super interesting, given that’d be a complete about face!
And I think from a technical perspective it’s actually not one? I’m not totally positive. I’ve usually heard it called an compatibility layer, which I think would be different from the way an emulator typically emulates a piece of hardware and its firmware
Could also have something to do with not wanting to draw the ire of Microsoft? “Emulator” kinda feels like it’d come with different implications or connotations than calling it a compatibility layer 🤷♂️
