I'm quite certain it has. I believe Windows on ARM now ships with x86 emulation, allowing it to run any program (albeit more slowly). I'm not sure about the state of WSL on ARM, but Linux on ARM in general is a nearly indistinguishable experience from Linux on x86, with the exception of proprietary software which is for the most part relatively rare on that platform.

The last time I saw this tested, it was more likely to fail than work for any particular bit of modern 64 bit Windows software.

x86_64 support didn't exist due to Intel patents. That issue was resolved:

That doesn't fix the problem of Microsoft adding it to Windows in a non-functional state.
