Because Apple has a Mac monopoly and customer lock-in, it was able to drag its developers and users into the bold new ARM era, solving both the supply and demand side. Of course shipping a killer product (M1 Macs) at just the right time certainly helped. (And iOS/iPadOS devs were already using ARM with Apple's APIs, languages and tools, so now they have an even more streamlined path to the Mac side.)
Kind of weird that Apple, and not Microsoft, succeeded in leveraging their desktop OS and APIs into the mobile space.
