To be fair Intel has done a lot of work to make the x86 as great as possible. Patent lawsuits are awful. I'm not sure just copying someone's technology and emulating it without paying a license fee is all that great either.
My guess is this is all just negotiation from Microsoft's point of view and they are just trying to get Intel to license the ability to emulate x86.
Another possibility is this is a way to get Intel to invest more resources ( even at a loss) into competing with ARM.
