It's even worse. It's uninstalled when upgrading macOS.

  What does this mean, for dot releases? There's only been one release with Rosetta2 enabled.

    M1 Macbooks were shipped with 11.0, they're now on 11.1. Upgrading from one to the other removed Rosetta2 on mine (as well as Command Line Tools).

      It'll be interesting to see if this is a trend or 11.1 was a one-off.

  Well, it's OS-version specific…

    It could be upgraded rather than uninstalled.

    It should be expected that during this transition, everyone will have one x86 app or another. An upgrade breaking nearly 100% of users is a laughed-out-the-door bad user experience.

      The point to Rosetta this misses, however, is that for the vast majority of use cases it’s silently re-installed on demand.

        It essentially works only when launching apps from the Finder or the dock (not when app A launches app B, except if it did something about it, but that's unlikely) and brings up a prompt window. The opposite of silent.

          I wasn’t aware of the prompt. Mea culpa.
