The M1 migration is less than a year old and it’s already the single best/ most successful CPU migration in my memory. Far better than Apple’s PPC -> Intel Migration and massively better than whatever half-steps Microsoft has done to port over to ARM.
Apple absolutely should invest in much of what you suggest. In 6-12 months, after the platform is complete and mature enough to identify where the big problems are.
Most of us understand that you exercise caution when migrating mission critical work onto a 6 month old platform.
In the mean time, Apple has been hiring top Docker talent like Michael Crosby.

It’s possible they are hiring top container developers just to improve their internal cloud infrastructure. But what kind of hardware do you expect these guys will be running?
EDIT: Trimemd some repetitive stuff.
If I were Apple (ehem) I'd spend a small but meaningful budget supplying devs to projects like Docker or TF to help speedup M1 adoption. Given that the chip market is open for grabs I'd say it could give Apple a much stronger headstart with their in-house silicon strategy, even if that means helping improve products or the bottom-line for well-established corps, some of them competidors.
