One could view Marcan's work on Asahi Linux as "making M1 open". Going out on a limb here, but as a firm believer in open systems I think it's fine to buy an M1 Mac to the extent it's guaranteed to run Linux (or OpenBSD, or whatever) without any problems. System that can't do that are the ones to really avoid.
