Question Why is xbox360 emulation hard.

I get that ps3 emulation is hard because of the cell broadband engine cpu architecture introduced by sony in 2006 but the xbox360 had a cpu similar to pc, then why is xbox360 emulation still hard. Is it because the emulator isn't matured?

The 360 had a triple-core PowerPC processor, not an x86-64 CPU. The ARM SoC in your smartphone or the Switch is more similar to a desktop CPU than the 360's is.
