Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by “running Mac on Windows”.

You can already virtualise (that is, create a virtual environment for) and 
dual-boot (that is, reboot and then start as though on a PC) Windows. Macs make 
very fine Windows machines either way, providing you understand the limitations 
of the hardware and driver support. Modern Windows is very power-efficient and 
if you configure it correctly it can run every bit as nicely as macOS, although 
on notebooks with discrete GPUs Apple has always prejudiced the integrated GPU 
(there are workarounds, if you know where to look).

I mostly run Apple stock apps on my Macs, but the bulk of it is in Linux VMs or 
Terminal. Any consideration to move exclusively to Apple Silicon would mean, 
for me, deciding which platform was the lesser evil for essentially day-to-day 
apps; I would simply have to have (and carry about) multiple machines, 
otherwise. Right now my iMac does the work, and runs both platforms well, but I 
don’t boot Windows very often at all and it might simply be time to leave 
Windows behind altogether when travelling. Alternatively, of course, I purchase 
a cheap Apple Silicon notebook for the few (and, I’ll be honest, generally less 
important) things macOS does well, and begin the painful transition back to 
Windows full-time. I’m not sure which, yet. Given that my VMs are Linux, and 
Windows now has WSL for Linux command-line software, it’s actually not an easy 
call to make any more—I think the reason I’m stuck to macOS is mostly 
familiarity and the overall experience, but it clearly also has limitations 
that would be amplified by Apple Silicon and not having Windows around as 
rescue, however infrequently that actually happens.

I don’t know the accessibility status of Windows 365, but I don’t really fancy 
renting my computer in the cloud. My beef with Windows as a platform isn’t such 
that I’d avoid it at all costs, but realistically I’d have to use it on a day 
to day basis and the cloud isn’t good value for that.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
