That's basically what Microsoft did with ARM on Windows and I'm sure Apple will take advantage of this opportunity.

The first time (Windows RT), yes, and it was a complete market failure. The new Windows on Arm is not like this.

And it didn’t help that the Windows Store back then was a store for UWP/Metro apps.

It also took a long time for Microsoft to actually tackle the issues that UWP/Metro and WinUI/XAML faced. It took so long, it doesn’t even matter anymore and even Microsoft has moved on. But there’s quite a bit of hypocrisy, with Microsoft telling others to use WinUI while not using it everywhere themselves while refusing to update the styles of other design frameworks.
