When I want to run the poor interface and crippled single-tasking single-pane applications of iOS I take out my iPad and use it.
I'm using a Mac because it's UNIX on an x86 CPU with a decent visual interface on decent hardware with working suspend and resume (without regular fights with the software like Linux).
I don't want iOS. I don't want some lame emulation to run existing binaries or the VM with my production Linux apps in it, or portable Docker images.

Luckily it's not emulation, much less lame - it re-compiles
very much into the idea of a much better performing system with way better power management
To be fair it sounds like you're into the idea that this may one day happen. If however this was your concern now you'd have no interest in ARM anywhere outside of your tablet or phone. The performance is not yet there.
