Philosophical objection: that is exactly the opposite of what TempleOS is about.

Practical objection: By the time you've done that, you'd have written a complete IBM-PC-to-browser compatibility layer. ... This would be super cool if it worked, I'm just sceptical.

x86 emulators in browser are available: https://copy.sh/v86/ https://bellard.org/jslinux/

These won't run TempleOS though, because it requires x86-64.

Didn't sound like OP wanted a VM; they wanted a reimplementation or compatibility layer (like wine or wsl).

Re: complete IBM-PC-to-browser- I am not sure about that. I think that the Holy C compiler only emits a small subset of all of the x86/64 Instruction set.
