To some degree yes but it has been great to be able to use iPhone/iPad apps on Apple Silicon.

Taps and clicks are completely compatible and the only issues come from multitouch interfaces but even they can work well with substitutions like scroll to zoom instead of pinch to zoom.

Besides, the web has been first-class on both platforms for quite some time now and interfaces that work well on both are pretty much ubiquitous. It comes with added benefit of UI familiarity, be it a Web UI or mobile UI.

Therefore, I think the current issues in some apps are not fundamental but simply bad design choices that can be fixed with better adaptations.

I also don't expect quick and complete re-write of the established apps as re-write with a new UI framework is a common death sentence.
