There's no problem with either scipy or numpy running natively on Apple Silicon. The problem is with the 3rd-party package managers, which are all junk, and that's not new: they've always been hot garbage, especially homebrew. Just don't use homebrew, and then after you get used to that, don't use it on x86, either.

There were issues with numpy/scipy because of lapack and fortran. I guess they solved it somehow.

There were problems with homebrew finding a fortran compiler for this platform, there were not problems with fortran on macos/arm64 itself. fortran for macos/arm64 has existed since the platform was available. OpenBLAS has worked fine as far as I can tell with `make FC=gfortran`. The only problems have been with package managers.
