Parent's point was that Apple made the switch without having to get software vendors on the project, due to excellent emulation of x86 on their ARM.


Apple has more control over developers - these idiots pay them money for the "privilege" of developing on it. And Apple started by deprecating support for all 32 bits app. That forced many developers to refactor or port their code. The x86 emulation support will end in the near future and will force the remaining developers onto the ARM platform.


Rosetta 1 was supported for 6 years. I don't think that's too bad.
