You can with emulation, compatibility layers, stuff like Wine and DXVK and using Linux drivers. Also lots of software ends up being written in top of Electron, so it makes easier.
Will it be a great user experience? Probably not, but that's not the point. If it will win Microsoft some money, that would be enough of a reason.
A better idea would be open sourcing Windows if that is legally possible for them to do.
