What does the vertical axis mean in those graphs? "Relative performance" seems made up.

Certainly there are tasks they can do to skew that one way or another.

Probably covering their butts in case whatever benchmark they used works differently on ARM vs x86, or if there are weird macOS differences. If there were a bunch of performance patches made to the Mac version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider that made it faster on macOS, that's not because of a faster chip (just an example, I don't know how they benchmark).
