The impact today when both architectures are supported is less. However, this is far from the first time Apple have changed architectures. Running older OSs for different architectures _tends_ towards emulation, which does cause some difficulty. (Performance impact, DRM subsystems that try and break under virtualisation, etc.). However, there are still "hardware" efforts like this. [0] So long as there is curiosity, you can expect that someone will eventually succeed. Partial efforts like Wine's support for the M1 [1], help to close the gap around translating things that are unique to Apple's architecture.
