Correction: x86 emulation has been supported for years, the windows central article says x64 emulation will be introduced in 2021.

Nobody had those issues.
Only time Windows was unsuable for most average folks was in the days of Windows 98 with 512mb RAM

ARM has become second in innovation, first being Apple while Intel and AMD are trying to catch up when it comes to CPU improvements. The only thing holding back their performance is the lack of demanding software mostly found in x86. If Microsoft can improve the user experience of Windows on ARM and more manufacturers utilise ARM processors, it's going to eat x86 market share. For now, the progress is rather lazy and slow.

I'm definitely still waiting for the official x64 emulation for W10 ARM. It has been long overdue now if you ask me.
About Microsoft bringing support for Android apps in Windows 10, isn't that sound exactly like Project Astoria before?

Windows 10 was almost unusable in earlier builds, I thought that it would all be fixed in a year. Here we are almost hitting 2021; search is broken as you mentioned, windows store does not show correct download progress, wi-fi occasionally disconnects automatically and much more.

Search which is considered a basic function in an Operating System still does not work properly on Windows 10, yet here we are, they're thinking of supporting Android apps. What a bunch of idiots, they'll never learn. They should just focus for 2 years on fixing their buggy OS instead of always including something that people never asked for.

It will be good for Arm based devices.
Windows based PC won't run great on M1 chip because of lack of support.
x86 emulation isn't the same as a proper x86 OS dual booted.

Currently Ubuntu OS is available in Windows 10 via Microsoft Store as App. But it is restricted to terminal mode only. It will be better if Microsoft manages to release GUI version of Ubuntu with full support from Canonical. It (Ubuntu) should be available as full fledge software just like MS Office or any other exe software and not as terminal app.

Your post was lack of clarity. Microsoft already supports x86 in the ARM processor. What will Microsoft do in 2021 is implementing support for x86 64 bit (a.k.a x86-64 or simply x64).

The M1 performance per watt, is creating a revolution in the PC world. Its coming.

I think MS is a little late on the uptake if they are actually thinking of making an x86 emulation on ARM now. I hope it has already been in development for more than a few years if it has any hope of competing with Rosetta 2, which by all accounts, is amazing!
