When you put out new hardware and a new operating system and multiple pieces of software don't work that's hardly the developer's fault. Apple should be addressing these issues or rolling back to Rosetta more until the software developers can catch up.

Especially when you're charging premium prices for a machine that "just works".

Again, software bugs are only ever the developer's responsibility. It is not ever ever possible in any universe for a hardware manufacturer and os vendor to fix any developers' bugs. Apple is responsible for their hw working, and their os working. These work fine and continue to work fine even if an application crashes. Any application that chokes on Mac and/or macOS, or any hardware or any OS, can only be remedied by the developer of that application, namely, by fixing their bugs.
