> It seems just a tad shortsighted to ditch x86_64 when a lot of people depend on it specifically because it's a shared architecture with other platforms. What exactly depends on x64? Hypervisors? JITs? I can't think of that many examples. The most important software already runs on ARM, because ARM is a really important platform. Sure, adding yet another platform (macos-aarch64) to everything is going to be some work and some things will fall by the wayside. It'll still happen for the most part because you know there will be a significant installed base. That's something that other companies (like Microsoft) can't pull off.
