Is: Why run Windows on a Mac too obvious a question?
Why not? With the performance advantage people used to Windows and have never considered switching to Mac now have another choice of non-Intel. Personally I find almost everything about MacOS backwards and counterintuitive, but I could appreciate high performance.

"Apple uses MacBook in a way it wasn't designed to function, breaking it; clearly Apple is better" /s

This is an apples and oranges comparison. The Surface Pro X is a light portable 2 in 1. No surprises a full laptop beats it.

More interesting is the idea of being able to use Apple hardware but avoid their software
Nope, A14 in the latest iPhone scored 1500+/3900+. SQ2 just can't directly compete with Apple in any capacity, that's all.

Could have been running on a mac mini which is a desktop class machine. However, M1 Laptops aren't far behind. But this is not surprising anyway given how old the snapdragon SoC is. Next gen flagship SoCs will be much closer.

Definitely no surprise considering how old the underlying tech in SQ2 is and how Qualcomm never caught up with Apple anyway, this score is still in the range of emulation and could probably be a notch higher running ARM64. The limited compatibility of Windows on ARM makes it arguable whether it's worth it running this or just emulating regular Windows instead.

An intrepid developer has successfully virtualized Windows 10 on ARM on an Apple M1 device. Others have also replicated the project and posted Geekbench scores from the virtualized environment. These scores put Microsoft's Surface Pro X, the company's current flagship ARM device, to shame.
