| Prior to switching to Apple Silicon, Apple prepared the path with their effort to push for universal binaries by default Software made yesterday were already prepared to run on their new silicon Rosetta was only a transition helper, not meant to be a permanent solution Microsoft didn't do any of that, and still doesn't, their leadership is clueless and dangerous If Microsoft doesn't put in the effort, it'll never work Let's hope there's no secret agreement to exclude Linux (?AMD AI?) I wish Valve would encourage developpers to submit ARM binaries to prepare for the future... Why only Apple is able to pull it off? Why this lack of care from everybody else?

Apple got burnt, multiple times, by both Intel and Nvidia. That set them on a complete war path to move to arm where they control the chips. As part of that war path, their goal was to drop x86 entirely so they needed the transition layer.
Microsoft has no need to drop x86 entirely, in fact x86 will continue to remain a good part of a market for the foreseeable future. Who knows, maybe RISCV suddenly takes off because even Qualcomm has begun pushing a cool billion dollars towards RISCV development due to ARM/Softbank attempting to make them destroy their IP. Heck, ARM/Softbank is basically trying to destroy the ARM market for profit by terminating Qualcomm's licenses by 2025.
