Ultra-low-end business laptops from 2015 with a mobile Intel Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics still have a dramatically better gaming experience than the Pixel 7 Pro. Why?

By the way, this is even with the help of emulators. Without emulators, gaming would outright be impossible for most people

I thought smartphones based on the arm64-v8a (or in some cases, armeabi-v7a) were actually the largest market for computers right now, and yet, despite having a larger market, they have a far crappier gaming experience.
