Ehh I think people are overestimating M1 impact.
Sure its the best laptop/ipad(other pad) chip out there. And it (and it's next versions) will likely remain best for quite a while.
But it's not that the rest of the chips out there turned into garbage. They are still very usable.
Personally I have gone away from laptops back to desktops.
Having desktop and a phone/tablet combination for me is better than just laptop or laptop + phone/tablet. I still have my laptop, but I very rarely use it now. (mostly if I travel, which I don't because of covid :) ) But having latest gratest laptop is not anywhere near the top of my purchasing priority.
And on desktops, latest AMD chips and lots of fast ram, are quite decent.
Bottom line even if OS never has anything that matches M1, it will still be fine.

Most people - unlike you - don't care that much about desktops, they either have laptops or tablets.
