Chime in: Should Microsoft build an Android emulator to address the Windows app gap?

[Windows Central]

If there's one common complaint among the majority of Windows users, particularly Window Mobile users, it's the "app gap," or Windows's lack of mobile, "touch-friendly" applications compared to other platforms, such as Android, iOS, and macOS.
The problem is a complex one, and it's sort of a "Catch 22;" developers won't invest time and effort in creating great apps if the users aren't there to download (and perhaps pay) for them, but people won't embrace a platform if the apps aren't there. Alas, the app gap.

Windows 10 Mobile used to be able to run Android apps natively. I remember running them on my Lumia 1020 but the performance was not good and the subsystem was pulled before release.
