Why can most computers run games like RDR2, Cyberpunk, etc. Really fast but when emulating ps3/Xbox360 games it lags and can barely run it?

Normal games have normal access to your hardware. Emulation involves virtualizing the emulated console itself, adding an abstracted hardware layer before your actual hardware. So your computer is running it’s normal OS, the OS of the emulated game console, and the emulated game itself whereas normal games just involve your OS and game.
