Maybe, I suppose.
But if you watch their other video from the first day of WWDC [1], at about the 20 minute mark they mention that they've already ported a bunch of open source tools to MacOS ARM64:
Bgfx
Blender
Boost
Skia
Zlib-Ng
Chromium
cmake
Electron
FFmpeg
Halide
Swift Shader
Homebrew
MacPorts
Mono
nginx
nmap
Node
OpenCV
OpenEXR
OpenJDK
SSE2Neon
Pixar USD
QT
Python 3
Redis
Cineform CFHD
NumPy
Go
V8
And they say they will start contributing those ports upstream now that they've done the announcement.

- nightowl_games 6y agoWill these ports help Raspberry Pi versions of the same programs?
- Thev00d00 6y agoI doubt it as they likely run flawlessly on the Pi already thanks to community efforts. If anything apples "porting" will have benefited from the Pi not the other way round
