Speaking solely for myself, I do not intend to go with this experiment after using Macs for 16 years and change. I have found that with a few rough edges, Windows 10 and WSL fulfills my dev needs, and except for the Apple apps Logic and Final Cut Pro, virtually all my software is cross platform. Besides, I can use Ableton and Adobe Premiere which I also already "own."

I’m sure they lost people when they switched off of ppc too but just like last time Apple is playing the long game. Intel just can’t keep up anymore.

Intel can't (maybe). AMD can. In fact right now, AMD doesn't even have to keep up, because it's substantially out in front.
AMD has worse thermals than intel does which is likely the reason Apple is switching in the first place
