Isn’t this the modus operandi with a lot of stuff Apple does — release new things that the market hasn’t quite adapted to yet, and let the market catch up? Rem

  Other than Windows/Bootcamp being dropped, what is there to catch up with? For the machines these machines replace, non-native apps still run significantly faster under Rosetta 2 than they do on the current hardware. When native ARM versions of those apps are released, you'll get another speed boost. I fail to see what is negative or needs "catching up". Just because M1 Mac's can compete with the all but the fastest laptops and majority of desktops already doesn't mean that's their intended use. These are Apple's entry level models. And the spank the vast majority of other machines even when running code not yet optimized for them. There is catching up, but it isn't by Apple.
