...the difference being? JIT transpilers still count as emulators.

They really don't. A emulator is doing all of the hardware in software. A translator is just converting instructions.

By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.

And it's still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.
