How can a CPU make architecture differences (the main issue dealt with by Docker users) disappear? The only way that could happen is if the M-series were x86-64 rather than ARM, which dramatically reduces the possibility space for advancement in user/developer-facing CPUs.

The most that can practically done is a software solution like Rosetta, which is a good holdover in the interim, but ultimately software needs to become more architecture-agnostic, not less. Treating archs matching between development and prod as a given is a crutch, not a long term solution.

The people didn't understand what they were actually doing, and somehow believed that Docker is a magic wand that makes binaries for the wrong CPU run ok.
