The powerful view of the hardware is a lot of hype and can only be applied to Macs costing largely over 2k which puts them in a category where they are in fact pretty weak hardware.
And that's if we consider the benchmarks and take all the numbers as truth because in practice real world performance is really not great, even at a very high price.
For example, a 24GB M2 MacBook Pro plays Dota 2 worse than a barely mid-tier AMD APU. Once you realize that, you understand that not only porting will be a lot of work, but porting to the majority of the userbase that is using bottom of the barrel Apple hardware, would be an optimisation nightmare for still a pretty low number of users all things considered.
There is the Apple Silicon hyper and then there is the reality: outside of power consumption optimisation, not really interesting in itself.
