Maybe, but lots and lots of software applications are not even close to being hardware constrained or in this specific case Rosetta constrained. If you're trying to get work done and you have the computational overhead available, this absolutely sounds like the right solution. Even if it's less efficient, I can easily imagine situations where "I need this to work without thinking about it" could win out.

Yeah I am not running code which is hardware constrained and numpy was a real doozy tto get working because of pep517. I found Rosetta pretty fast anyway. Certainly faster than my Ryzen 2600 on arch Linux at running the same code.

I'm not saying "don't use Rosetta", I'm saying using Rosetta is totally pointless in this case, where literally the whole point is native M1 support.
