Apparently Thunderbolt is full of low-level x86 quirks, so getting existing devices working on ARM Macs is likely to be a punishingly heavy lift even for Apple, which seems to have barely started work. And of course Intel isn't likely to be all that co-operative. https://level1techs.com/video/can-apple-do-thoughts-armthund...
