Just putting their own games on the platform would be money down the drain if their goal was to make ARM a viable gaming platform (just look at Apple), but games that small are low-hanging fruit, for sure.

If they heavily rely on some frameworks very much tied to x86 Windows that required massive efforts to port, sure, but usually they don't for the simple fact that video game consoles and smartphones exist. Microsoft very much supports gaming on ARM platforms, most notably Nintendo Switch. There is no reason why Doom I+II isn't officially available for Windows ARM.
