why can't console games be ran natively?
These projects are called compatibility layers, or "translation layers" sometimes. I think XQEmu (OG XBox on PC) works the same.

QEMU Version 6.0.0 Released
Yes:
Are both original Xbox emulators built off of QEMU. I've only used Xemu, but performance was pretty good for the games I tried on it (it doesn't have a way to upscale rendering yet though).

Morrowind Rebooted the Original Xbox Without You Ever Noticing
It's indeed a bit like a kexec.
On system initialization, kernel routines are copied into RAM by the bootloader[1]. Executables run in ring 0, and have a jump table to call kernel routines in their own address space (IIRC) [2].
As such, loading any executable counts as a soft reboot.
Also, there is a functioning open source emulator, Xqemu [3] (and its sibling/fork focused on speed and compatibility more than accuracy, xemu [4])
I recommend reading "17 mistakes Microsoft made in the Xbox security system", which is very informative [5].

Experimental Nintendo Switch Emulator written in C#
There is one emulator currently that does do that, the "XQEMU" emulator for the original Xbox https://xqemu.com/
It's in its infant stages at the moment according to the "Emulation General" wiki and focuses heavily on "accuracy" over performance
Other emulators such as CXBX-Reloaded have made larger strides, currently emulating roughly 10% of the software library
It's also worth stating, while the Xbox seems like an "easy" target, being based on an ia-32 (Pentium III) PC with an Nvidia GeForce chip (somewhere between a Geforce 2 and 3 at the time) it is an absolutely monstrous beast with minimal documentation about its hardware and numerous "gotchas"
It also has a very small library of 'exclusive' content which detracts from gaining many developers

Current EA version is probably the least experimental in a while.
What about this PR? It was approved on Jul 11, and looks to be performance boost to some extent. https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/10996. Is it already included in the EA 3754 release?
- If Nintendo would release their games on other platforms :(

Accurate barriers for RDNA3 fix in Zelda Totk?
the bug in Yuzu looks similiar, but from what I understand it's caused by the way RDNA3 handles anisotropic filtering. here is the original issue report: https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/issues/10228
