Wrong. Xbox, 360 and Xbox One games have completely different file structures.
The executable files for 360 games need to be rewritten in order for them to run on X1. Since the code for these files aren't property of MS, they absolutely have to ask third parties for permission first.
Even if it wasn't for these legal issues, there would still be compatibility problems. That's why BC games are being actively patched to improve stability after release on X1.

The Original Xbox and Xbox 360 games are being partly emulated in a virtualised environment... And also repackaged which you mentioned.
The Xbox One (Or Xbox One X) isn't fast enough to brute force the emulation of these games, that's a fact.

Given that OG Xbox was really just a PC, running on x86 and DirectX, I'd assume it would be relatively easy to write some sort of wrapper for them....but I haven't coded in something like 25 years, so I really can't say.
