That's my read on this as well. They designed it so it would work well with their other hardware/software and this is what they landed on. I seriously doubt they paid even a second of thought to other OSs running on their hardware. Some people will call that "user-hostile" but it's much closer to apathy IMHO and as a macOS and Apple hardware user I'm fine with that. It's cool that Linux can/will run on the M1 but I'll never be doing that myself. It reminds me of that scene in Mad Men "I don't think about you at all" [0] but Apple's feeling isn't even as sinister or hostile as the comment made by Don.
