Im sure this is a dumb take, but can they just open source the 360? Then they are not giving away games they are not allowed to.

Not a dumb take at all, it'd be awesome if they did. Unfortunately there are likely contracts or business reasons preventing them from doing so, or code shared between the 360 and current gens that they want to keep proprietary. Still, with MS open sourcing more and more projects over time, I'd love to see it.

Still, not sure how that'd solve the store shutting down

If the goal is game preservation, the idea would be the community would preserve them for you. We would likely have highly usuable emualtors within a short time.
