Its certainly possible, though useless.

Most vim emulation plugins struggle with accuracy, EVIL exceeds it. Manly due to evil-collection and various other packages, pretty much every emacs package has evil support, and that integration feels very native to emacs

This is a case where being a neovim gui would be worse. Though, someone could totally do it for shits and giggles.

Finally, that operating system would have a decent text editor :)

- global undo tree

- the " and * registers work very differently than in vim, but there's a setting to fix it
