So what's changed?

Windows RT was Microsoft's attempt to have its cake and eat it: cheap devices that wouldn't cannibalise sales of Windows. But the absence of any kind of emulation meant that no one would buy Windows RT, because there was no software, and no one would develop software because no one was buying the hardware. Emulation, especially in hardware, changes everything.
