I assume this is satire.

  No, I think it is very prescient --- the same way almost no one believed RMS a few decades ago and thought he was crazy. But it's clear where things are heading with Apple.

  Nah fam. It's clear what Apple want: soup-to-nuts control of the platform and ecosystem. Anything less would be putting the value of the #1 brand in the world in the hands of potentially unscrupulous third-party devs. So whether you can run anything on Apple Silicon, what you can run, what inputs you are allowed to run it on will be decisions made in Cupertino. If just anyone is allowed to emit Apple Silicon binaries that presents a problem to the whole chain of custody. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if future versions of Xcode did all their compilation in Apple's cloud, without an option for local compilation.
