It's not an OS feature because Apple has an aversion to maintaining any kind of compatibility layer for more than a few years, it's not a third party app because Apple doesn't allow JIT code (eg. high performance emulators) in third party applications on iOS.

Demand isn't the only reason to make a feature, sometimes customers might want something only after they're given the opportunity to recognize it's value.

There are hacky ways to get JIT to work and you can run Dolphin and other emulators that way.

Not productizable and not something that you could rely on working in the longer term.
