For the same reason you can't run Windows 11 Pro on your phone. The chip architecture.
As weird as it sounds you can (with poor performance). With something like Limbo or Termux you can actually get Windows or any x86 OS running underneath Android on a phone.
Fun project maybe, but not really utilitarian though. Never used apple so can't actually report on how well their emulation and/or translation layer is working on Arm.
You might want to tell that to the people who make Parallels.
You can run Windows on Apple Silicon in a VM. These people are just wrong. Also Windows for ARM exists.
