Don't forget the prospect of Electron Apps on ARM Macs.

iOS and iPadOS never had the chance to run Electron-apps given they would be killed by the OS as it would eat up the RAM sideways. 16GB of RAM will still not be enough for it. Maybe it will run just fine, but hardly usable or "Desktop performance" like.

This makes me appreciate the iOS/iPad app compatibility on ARM Macs as a way to escape some apps that don't need to use Electron.

Electron is already compatible with ARM, as Microsoft added support in 2019 to allow targetting ARM64 devices like the Surface Pro X.

If 16GB of memory isn't enough to run a text editor or glorified IRC client, then the problem is probably the horribly bloated software.
