Apple Silicon != Windows on ARM.
Apple Silicon is a product line-spanning transition to home-cooked ARM CPUs. Windows on ARM was an experiment designed to run alongside x86, likely intended to fail. As for the "successful" bit, I couldn't frankly care less. You're welcome to measure success by whatever metric you choose, but the switch to ARM has ostracized me and many other developers I know (some of whom are Apple users currently).
In other words, ARM is good at watching Youtube videos at low wattages: who knew? (Answer: Everyone who used ARM for this exact purpose before Apple did)
