There's one very very early in development. I think it can currently run a few indie games at like, 2 fps? It's a long way off but it'll happen

To me though, emulating the Switch kinda negates the whole point of it. Without its abilities, it's essentially just a last gen console.

How would its motion controls translate too, even mild ones that involve one joycon having to be twisted a bit?

Not quite sure, but dolphin emulates wii quite well and that had motion controls too. There's probably even a way to hook joycons up to a pc, but I wouldn't know

Given that such emulators are built for eg.: PC and one can attach any HID-compatible controller via USB on most modern systems not to mention write HID controllers / mappers on our own, it's probable the motion controls could involve either the mouse or setting up a joystick or gamepad that already has accelerometers built in that the computer can read, for example using a 3DS as a PC gamepad via the ctroller homebrew.
