The original Xbox was a great console, even if it didn't have that big of an impact compared to the PS2. It deserves archiving.
"A few years ago, a mobile game developer called Super Evil Megacorp had the brilliant idea of making a TMNT roguelike. After first releasing it on Apple Arcade, they wisely recognized the game’s potential on other platforms. TMNT: Splintered Fate has slowly but surely come to all major platforms, finally arriving on Xbox today. Not only is Splintered Fate a fine roguelike and co-op game, but it’s also one of the best TMNT games ever made," says Co-Optimus.
"Dodge Roll and Devolver Digital's Enter the Gungeon is a hit twin-stick shooter roguelike that debuted nearly ten years ago. Since then, it has received several DLCs and a single-player spin-off called Exit the Dungeon. Well, it seems that there's more life left in Enter the Gungeon yet. It's finally coming to Android and iOS, and with online co-op not found in the big-screen versions," says Co-Optimus.

Microsoft so lazy come on now windows 10 was half baked software when release
Pointless. MS would have to ensure the emulator only worked for games whose publisher allowed it just like they did with 360 emulation on X1. Nvidia is going through the same thing with GeForce Now.
Emulation does equate to “archiving”.
I'm fairly certain that MS, and the publishers have already archived all those games. Having an emulator isn't going to help in this effort.
MS has a responsibility to the publishers who paid to put their games on the console to not make a commercially viable emulator which can just be used without restriction. They are bound to license agreements just like the publishers are. The publisher would have to approve any software that runs on the emulator, and if they're interested in that, there are ways of doing that already. MS can not just release an emulator and let the consumer do as they please.
The game industry, nor the console makers or publishers are in need of the general public to archive gaming history for them. There are industry supported efforts for such things, and such archival does not include the emulation of the games themselves, just the preservation of data, or the medium by which they are distributed.
