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.
