I have been predicting this for a while. I keep saying "hmm maybe in a year or two" but it never seems to happen :)
I still believe the future of macOS will be ARM though. Apple have invested so damn much in making their own SoC that I can't imagine them not going that way. Soon (within a year or two? heh) they will have an SoC that they can pop in the MacBook and performance will be so close to the m-series Intel chip that only lab benchmarks will show a difference (and even that will be tiny).
Once that happens Apple will own the own compute process. While very cool it also sucks as I have no doubt the Mac will become as locked down a iOS. No sideloading and certainly no dualbooting. The Mac will essentially be yet another appliance albeit it one with some kind of development environment. It won't be something you can hack on though (well not without having to actually hack it first).
