Perhaps it's a backroom agreement with hardware manufacturers to drive sales of devices that feel more futureproof in the face of uncertainty, like, say, Windows going full remote. Seems like every Windows iteration involves more and more emulation (for ex. W11 adds 64-bit app emulation)- so, maybe they are laying the groundwork for it. But 11 also teaches us, if they pulled the switch today, it would be a mess.
