It doesn’t matter that it’s not true for Intel in general, brew doesn’t target “Intel in general”.

If it doesn't, that's just yet another broken assumption by homebrew. Macos is run on other hardware, both physical and virtual, than a few Apple models.

It’s not a broken assumption. You can still build and compile all formulae yourself.
But for the bottles, the precompiled builds, they’ve always had a lower boundary on which generation of Mac you need to at least be running, and as a consequence which instructions are available.
