Rosetta 2 also emulates 32-bit x86 code, you can try it out with CrossOver (CodeWeavers’ commercial version of Wine)

No it does not. It isCrossOver letting you run 32-bit 86 (Windows apps only , I think) not Rosetta 2

Yes it does. Rosetta includes full emulation for 32-bit instructions, allowing Crossover to continue to not have to be an emulator.

(The parent commenter also works at CodeWeavers, so he would know :P)
