Even at a fancypants place like where I work, where they can definitely afford to replace your machine early and often, we have 36 month lifespans for our laptops. I'd expect "universal" amd64+aarch64 binaries to be available for almost all relevant software for at least 5 years from now. This article is not thinking clearly

Exactly. Plus Apple is shipping new intel macs.
The thing to be critical of Apple for is the vague and mysterious guidance re roadmap. That's ante for playing with Macs. After years of defective laptops, it's ridiculous that we need to read tea leaves. As a commercial user, do I wait for broken 2018/19 keyboards, or replace with a potentially obsolete device? We wont know until Apple controls the CPU pipeline.
