I think the parent comment was worded poorly but this is how I'd look at it.
MacOS with M1 runs software compiled for ARM at 100%.
MacOS with M1 runs translated software via Rosetta 2 at like 95%.
Windows on ARM runs software compiled for ARM at 100%.
Windows on ARM runs x86/x64 emulation at 60%.
If Windows for ARM would replace x86/x64 emulation with binary translation, they might remove a significant barrier to ARM adoption (on Windows) by removing the harsh penalty of having to emulate legacy software until enough native/compiled for ARM software exists.
