Apple not keeping legacy cruft is why they were able to move to ARM so quickly. For all the grumbling about cutting 32-bit support couple of years ago, this is what allowed them to do that (among other things). And, as demonstrated, developers like Valve take action only when they are forced to. Windows and Linux on ARM are stuck in the mud with no end in sight while Apple is almost done with the transition.
Considering they just turned iPadOS into macOS–I doubt they’re trying to turn macOS into iOS. They’re just being their typical, stuck-up, stingy asshole selves. Use Metal, or die.
I was like “hey, Apple Silicon looks like a great turnaround!” and indeed it was–I love my M1 Max MacBook. Now, they’re going backwards again. Frustratingly, they’re also going forward with the launch of their OSes this year. It’s a sidestep.
Again.
I, and others, are only playing this game so many times, so I have no idea what the strategy is.

I mean sure, but apple killing Rosetta support is also idiotic. I think that they just want to turn OSX into iOS which is just awful.
Apple doesn’t care about maintaining compatibility. Look at their previous changes such as PowerPC to x86 and forcing 64-bit only applications.
