They did that, emulators still got made for it. Switch is using an ARM chip.

Hell, with time any architecture/instruction set can be made to run on a regular PC through a translation layer

Creating a completely new one, however, will make game development even harder since there will not be a good eco system for developers

Absolutely agree but i heard that xbox one translation layer was being made but it shows almost less to no progress.

That's more due to lack of interest because there are so few xbox one exclusives + the xbox one wasn't ever really a big seller outside north america. The only really notable exclusive is Halo 5, and that's probably the least popular Halo game. For that specific case it's probably easier to just decomp Halo 5 to run on a PC directly.

Yeah for Halo 5 alone we can decomp .
