Sorry, let me admit I actually don't own an M1/M2 Mac and have only used one by proxy helping my coworkers. To be completely honest, I just assumed it was possible to run amd64 containers on them through some form of translation (QEMU/Rosetta). That actually makes my whole point stronger though - if the container you want doesn't support amd64, you either fix it yourself (often a time consuming and difficult process) or you just can't use it at all. The rest of your post is just chasing ghosts. We're talking about M1 Macs, remember, not cloud servers? Thanks for letting me know about Graviton, but I am literally employed by AWS and build aarch64 containers as part of my day job, I'm well aware.
