Why is it so hard for modders to port games to pc

Why is it that game Devs are able to port games to pc but people aren’t able to do the same outside of emulation that take a while and doesn’t always run the best. I don’t know much about game development or computers, why is it so difficult/impossible?

It’s more difficult (you don’t exactly have a way to wipe/reinstall in case something messed up, or you have to invest in hardware to plug it in) and more speculative (once your hardware ID is banned you are looking at shelling the money to buy a new console if you still want to play that game) to cheat with consoles so it’s easier to keep the game fair.

For single player games I guess it’s more like the projected money isn’t there because cracking DRM for computer games is relatively easier than writing emulators for console games.
