In a way they already do.

All current Macs include a T2 chip, which is a variant of the A10 chip that handles various tasks like controlling the SSD NAND, TouchID, Webcam DSP, various security tasks and more.

The scenario you mention — a upgraded "T3" chip based on a newer architecture that would act as a coprocessor used to execute ARM code natively on x86 machines — seems possible, but I don't know how likely it is.
