The problem is that macOS ARM uses extra features that don't exist on CPUs outside of Apple Silicon. So you can run virtual macOS ARM on a macOS host (such as inside UTM), but not on anything else.

There isn't currently a real ecosystem of non-Apple ARM machines anyway.

Servers exist. Also, maybe the missing instructions can be trapped and emulated?
It’s possible. As far as I know nobody has done this yet (outside of Apple).
The virtual kernels are almost stock.
Yeah, it wouldn’t be a huge amount of work.
