#3It will be interesting to see how long Rosetta-2 will be supported.
macOS 10.15 took away 32bit apps, which was a sizeable chunk so clearly Apple is willing to alienate some of its users in the name of progress and slimlining.

#4Maybe it was Intel that had platform control all along.

#5Always one guy who shouts about control and submission. Don't like it don't buy it?

With Intel there at least was AMD as an option:

#7It was a masterclass in duping really.
Step 1. Design the enclosure/thermals for a much lower TDP ARM chip, causing the Intel chips to thermal throttle and run hot as possible burning your lap and roasting your palms for years
Step 2. Introduce the new powerful ARM chip which now runs much cooler and faster in the same enclosure
Step 3. Profit!

#8While the point of Apple Silicon is undoubtedly for Apple to have more control over their ecosystem, this article doesn't make that point very well. For example:
> However, there’s a clear nudge for developers to publish their recompiled apps to Apple’s store.
That doesn't make any sense. Where is the "nudge" coming from? The article doesn't make any argument for how that works, given that you can share universal binaries outside the App store. Apple Silicon isn't changing anything that would "not so gently nudge" developers into the App Store.
Similarly, old apps only compiled for x86 being compatible in the future is... not really about control. PowerPC apps aren't compatible with intel Macbooks; that's just an inevitable outcome of switching the ISA. There's nothing about platform control in that.

That would hold water if people only compared it to intel Macs. Last I saw, most decent reviews compared it also to other mobile intel processors, so who exactly is in the group that's duping you?

As if. Intel clearly failed to deliver what they claimed. That’s the reason why we had to deal with such overheating issues not only with MacBooks
