Pretty much
No one in their right mind at Apple would ever open up their tightly-integrated (ie always "Just Works™") hardware stack for outsiders to "play with"
Want to "play"? Buy something else
Apple doesn't care what else you buy - they do care what they sell (and support)
If they opened-up the M1 (or any of their other proprietary products) to outsiders, they'd be on the hook for supporting whatever insanity other manufacturers did to/with it
