My comment wasn't really related to macs; imo if you ship binaries you should aim to provide builds for, say, the top 3 arches, and this is especially relevant for Docker images since the de facto standard for deploying them is just to pull them from dockerhub. Docker also fails in this regard since even though it knows the arch (it says it on dockerhub) docker client will still happily pull an amd64 image on ARM with no warning whatsoever

Right, what I’m saying is that until there’s a lot of movement in the server space away from amd64, I can completely understand why multiarch support isn’t a priority. It’s less of a fundamental principle and more of a tradeoff.
