Sure, but that's not what parent said. He said it only runs on "intel macOS", which is false. It works on non-Apple computers as well.

But I understand the miscommunication, parent meant to say "of the Apple computers, it only runs on Intel ones". There is a world outside of Apple, you know :-)

It's an emphasis thing. You can't tell in text where the emphasis is. In this case it was super clear that it was "intel macOS", but yea, it should have been "intel macs".

The conflation of "MacOS" with "Apple computer" is a problem that should be addressed.

Tails works on Intel arch. It does not work on ARM arch.

This has nothing to do with an Apple branded computer.
