Maybe, but is everyone who develops for OSX going to have an M1 in 2021-2022? I just bought a refurbished Intel-based Macbook Air (for just $50 shy of what a new M1 Air would have cost) due to concerns about virtualization software compatibility. People developing software to run on OSX may not want to invest in M1 machines this early, and small-to-midsized companies who rely on their Mac farms to run test suites etc. may not want to duplicate their infrastructure just to validate their software on M1, when they can perhaps meet their needs by using elastic M1 services.
