I think the # of people losing a lot of of battery to this is miniscule, especially since the OSX x86 emulation is pretty fast.

A bigger peeve is that there is no general reasonably fast cross build ability, to eg build, test and debug ARM images (for runnign on ARM servers) on x86 Linux or Windows etc.

There's no OSX x86 emulation.

There's Rosetta emulation and qemu emulation.

Rosetta emulation is quite fast. But docker does not use it. At least for now.

qemu emulation is extraordinarily slow and basically unusable for anything but the simplest code.

Ah, TIL.
