Technology seems to swing like pendulum between running remote and running locally as technology evolves. Recently I purchased an RTX 3090, and between my Ryzen with 24 threads, and the 64 GB of memory I bought for a few hundred dollars it was really occuring to me how much power my PC has for really not that much money. I don't need to be spending so much cash on cloud services when my local machine has more than enough horses to do everything I need.
I think the M1 is one more force towards the pendulum swinging back. I suspect that as developers port applications to ARM people will rediscover the benefits of native installations as new software starts to take full advantage of this new hardware.
