The blocker is Windows backward-compatibility. Macs are only sold with ARMs these days. Many (most?) Chromebooks are also using ARM. But one of the main reasons for Windows is backward-compatibility, and you won't get it with ARM.

Nothing prevents a rosetta2 like effort from happening on Windows too.

No it is not. I have Windows 11 on a test machine Samsung Galaxy Book with Snapdragon 7c and can run x86/x64 apps just fine. It is a fine device, but honestly it does not offer any killer feature compared to x86 notebooks.
