Plus it counters Apple, which recently made iOS apps available on macOS.

Seems like all the major OS are betting that mobile is going to be the focus of future native app development and don't want desktop users to miss out.

I don't think it says quite that much rather they've given up on the idea of a universal native app platform being realistic.

Apple being vertically integrated with its own ecosystem versus third parties integrating it on non native CPU platform sounds like a very different level of integrity.

No one can match the level of integration Apple had made on Windows and Android platform.

We'll see what kind of limitations and bugs to show up.

Windows runs on ARM too, just that non-Apple ARM chips aren't as competitive in terms of pure performance.
