The writing has been on the wall though - Catalina with all its dropped frameworks & notarization already pushed some developers to give up on the Mac (or tell their customers to just stay on Mojave). Loads of Waves users were unhappy having to upgrade to v11 for Catalina support, and won't be happy paying yet again for Mac ARM support.
Come join us on the dark side. Plenty of us music people already switched from Mac to Windows. Even Linux audio seems to have come a long way, with Bitwig, Reaper, Renoise all supporting Linux now, and even plugin devs like u-he.
