It's about more than the speed of the chips, Apple is simply more capable and willing to commit harder to transitioning to ARM native than Microsoft is.
Also as bad as MacOS is, Windows has aggressively been trashing their OS with adware to the extent that I have to assume Microsoft has lost confidence in the future of Windows and is attempting to cash in - and why would I invest my time into a platform the developer doesn't believe in?
Also compared to say 10 years ago, the amount of software which I need Windows for has absolutely plummeted.

Overwhelming majority of people have just 1 (one) application which would prevent them from getting out of the worst backwards compatible application platform that is Windows. It’s really amusing.
- faeriechangling 3y agoNews to me that Photoshop is a Windows exclusive. As for legacy business apps, I’ve been part of more conversion/virtualization projects than you can shake a stick at and Microsoft itself has done stuff like .NET core since 2016. I haven’t seen people greenfielding windows exclusive native apps in years. It’s mostly gaming and old professional apps with 30 year old codebases where I still see Windows dominate and even THERE I see more availability on MacOS nowadays with cross platform development being the norm.
