A valid concern. My experience is that by now, most apps/projects have support for m1 Mac’s out of the box. For the minority that don’t, I always find a solution that fits nicely in the first gist shown by google. I honestly don’t even consider it to be an inconvenience when I hold it up next to my experience with wsl. Not to mention that the support for new Mac architecture will only continue to improve + be a priority given the market share.

Don’t forget that even if you somehow run out of avenues for support on a mac, you can always dual boot linux on it. You could probably even bootcamp a mac to run windows and then run wsl inside it (I’m kidding but you get the point).
