I hope I am not wrong in imagining you may consider grouping quantum mechanics (QM) with research that has no way to ever benefit "humanity's well-being". (Even if I'd argue like art pure science & maths benefit huma

I think they had wished to run it directly on Apple silicon as they mention Asahi does not yet support functionality they are looking for. I am unsure what the state of a Linux VM is regarding Apple processors.
