You've certainly painted a sunny picture of arm adoption that I'm simply not seeing. One of the advantages of docker is that you can have systems lock their versions. So our project using say, Neo4J, uses a particular version of it. Not necessarily one with an arm build. This creates predictable and repeatable builds. So now either we upgrade dependencies out of our expected cycle, or we abandon macs as our development machines. A decent number of us wanted Linux anyway. This is a cost that Apple foisted on us. > since arm instances are cheaper on some public clouds, you should be making sure your stuff runs on arm64 now. Some instances might be cheaper, therefore we have to adopt it now? I think the cost/benefit analysis you're performing here is ignoring development costs. Are you a project manager of some kind? > they’ve been arm native for years. The native libraries and tools that make them worthwhile are not. Really it only takes a single component to ruin everything.
