Supposedly freedom loving open source folk are as susceptible to flashy marketing surrounding Apple’s shiny new thing as any other consumer. I remember how infuriated I got when I saw the Asahi project. Years upon years of hardwork only to get an operating system, which already runs on computers 99% of the userbace relies on, to run on Apple’s fancy new laptop on the bloc, just because. There so no real benefit to actually do it, be we do it still!

When Asahi started, the M1 chips were so good they might as well have been the only ARM-based-that-can-run-x86/x64-code-CPUs in-town. Last I checked, the M-series were still consistetly near the top of the stack of such chips, and look even better when you account for price. Your argument works even better versus the Snapdragon X, but that’s Microsoft’s current fav, so … ?

They can do what they want, but with no help from Apple even on the documentation front it’s sure not how I’d spend my time
