Asahi works because open source devs working for free made it work by reverse engineering stuff.
But why should Microsoft spend the effort to make Windows work on Apple Silicon, when by far the biggest benficiary of that would be Apple who would sell more hardware? Apple should be the one to invest resources to do it. Not to mention that if Microsoft did it, Apple could throw a wrench in it at any time, leaving Microsoft with users that expect support that it can't support because Apple won't let it (or makes it more difficult than it needs to be).
