> except that due to 32 bit libraries that is not actually as useful as claimed. Not sure what your correction is?

32 bit apps were dropped in Mac OS Catalina in 2019, before the M1 was even hinted at. You had an x86 only Mac OS with no 32 bit support already.

Also 32 bit apps were marked as deprecated in High Sierra, some time in 2018.

Is that supposed to be a long time? If the claim is that you should get a mac for superior backward compatibility, then 5 years sounds very short.
