Sort of off-topic. I noticed they publish Universal, intel and arm builds for MacOS. I’m struggling to understand why would they build all three? Why not do either universal or split arch?

It's just to download smaller files.

For example if you're using homebrew it will download the right specific file.

And universal is there so that people don't bother to know which arch is their computer.
