ARM is a RISC ISA, which should make it way easier to emulate/statically compile. The main difficulties wouldn't be hardware quirks like a lot of past emulators, but system OS quirks. The wine project has dealt with a lot of both (x86 has a ton of instructions and windows has a lot of system shit going on).

I do think you are 100% correct that hardware is much simpler now. The Switch has had several emulators for a while now bc of this.
