It is a very useful feature, but not for everybody. I am pretty sure most of the current programs distributed through MacApp store could be ported to ARM relatively easily, especially if they depend mostly on system frameworks. Open source CLI and developer tools already run well on ARM as ARM linux computers are nothing new. Big players such as Adobe do already know how to build ARM applications as they already ship them on iOS and presumably would have a good head start to port their flagship programs. Finally I am convinced that internally Apple has already all of their software including macOS and Xcode running on ARM (OS X was running on Intel from the beginning, years before the transition). With all of that, it is pretty conceivable that Apple would push out _a_ machine with an ARM chip, simply running an ARM build of macOS.
