It seems like the industry, players and technology involved have evolved and matured significantly since 6502 CPUs were relevant. Is Commodore or Atari even still around?
If Samsung came out with a contemporary CPU with 2x the compute per watt of the M1, Apple would probably be interested in it.
Notably, it seems like Intel had the capability and head start to have been able to develop such a CPU by now, but instead they held back progress to maximize their profits. It was apparently a bad long term strategy, as they've now lost their lead. The market moved on around them.
