It would be, except Apple don't allow emulators inside their walled gardens.

Don't use the marketing phrase 'walled gardens', its pro-corporate marketing jargon.

Don't call it an 'ecosystem': it's a zoo.

To me "walled garden" sounds pretty negative. It's a wonderful place unavailable to pretty much everyone. Some pretty anti-democratic, capitalistic s*t. But I suppose it carries different connotations for different people.

What's your preferred terminology? "Monopolist prison" comes to mind as an alternative that's not possible to interpret positively.

When has Apple ever referred to their ecosystem as a walled garden? I've only seen it used negatively.

How do you figure? I've always seen walled garden used in a negative sense

I can load up an emulator on my mac just fine. Whether the Vision Pro allows installs outside of the App Store is still unknown.

It's very unlikely Apple would allow side loading in MacOS if it was released today rather than 22 years ago.

"Walled garden" doesn't describe the Mac platform.
