Fwiw they claim they will support it as a framework into the future, so things Linux VMs can still take advantage of it. The only thing you're losing is desktop Mac apps which have largely all converted to arm64 at this point, except games which you probably aren't going to play natively anyway
Well— Apple wants devs to support Apple silicon. Cyberpunk 2077, for example, did very well as a native release. But a lot of that was tied to Steam’s (and GOG’s) “works anywhere“ purchase model.
And as far as “framework for the future“ are concerned, yeah, we’ll get there independently eventually, but nothing compares to Rosetta. It’s just fucking amazing, and it works now.
