I bet it must feel good for the macOS engineers to remove the intel support. Probably much easier to do development for the OS as well

As a consumer, I’d like to see the end of “universal” builds for various apps. It made sense for a while but downloading and installing ~60% larger bins just doesn’t make sense 6 years later.
The developer's feelings should not play a role in whether or not to drop support for devices that actual customers bought and use.
If it's anything like the last time they dropped intel, I wouldn't be surprised if they make sure darwin still builds on x86. Going all arm all the time is good business, but it isn't like apple to not have some kind of fallback
