No Running Intel macOS with Metal and OpenGL acceleration on Apple silicon requires hypervisor, kernel, and GPU-virtualization work that depends on private interfaces and deep low-level expertise.
What it would actually take: This would require building on Apple's Hypervisor and Virtualization frameworks, or a custom hypervisor, plus a GPU translation layer for Metal and OpenGL. It involves kernel-level debugging, undocumented hardware and firmware behavior, and ongoing maintenance against each macOS update. Realistically it needs experienced virtualization and GPU driver engineers.
