Wasn't there already something like "Android for x86"?
you can still compile it for x86, and run it on x86, waydroid uses android for x86, it runs natively under a container with its own android userspace sharing the "host's" kernel
There's also BlissOS if you want to run android on a desktop with a more desktop-like gui.
There used to be x86 Android phones. But they kept that port going even after the phones went away because it was good for development on x86 machines. You could just run a VM instead of having to emulate an arm ISA.
QEMU
QEMU is an emulator, what they're talking about is an android port to x86.
