Well M1 has the advantage of going into an entirely known and optimized-for system.
Intel needs to go into multiple kinds of motherboards and work with billions of combinations of other hardware.
For Apple building M1 is a much more integrated approach which is why they can produce better performance. If they built a similarly general purpose chip as intel they would likely not produce something as good as M1 or current Intel.
M1 is less than 5% of than the total chip market, intel are obviously not doomed, intel/amd/arm is powering like the other 95% including billions of servers etc. that M1 will never compete in.
No consumer buying intel is suddenly going to not buy intel because it isn’t on par with M1, unless they were buying a mac anyway.
