Thinking historically, maybe wait? There are a lot of things that don't work natively yet (maybe most of them)

The iPhone 1, first macbook pro intel, all were refreshed with more capable models.

Personally, I'm wondering what an apple-cpu mac pro will look like... if they refresh quicker than 6 years :)

I picked up a M1 Mac Mini. I honestly cannot tell the difference between a native and a non-native app on this thing. The Rosetta 2 emulation is mind blowing.
The powerpc switchover was similar. What was sort of annoying was that they retired it rather quickly.

maybe that's there way of saying "enough's enough" to lagging developers, but I kind of like Microsoft's model better -- you can still manage to get really old stuff running. That's a better way to get people on a newer OS.
