Could you build this?
Partial The client-side setup is simple, but turning a Mac into an RDP server means implementing or embedding the RDP protocol and screen encoding, which is specialized work.
What it would actually take: The most practical path is to wrap an existing RDP server library such as FreeRDP's server components, or to bridge a VNC/Screen Sharing stream into RDP. The hard parts are the RDP protocol and bitmap or graphics encoding, input and session handling, and authentication and security, along with a macOS app that manages sessions and licensing. This requires networking and remote-desktop protocol expertise.
