Bro i feel you so much! i am developing an app aimed at Intel Macs, but i cannot even publish it, because you need a Silicon mac to use the Apple Developer Program. It's so unbelievable brainless. The market still holds 10-20% intel devices, especially outside the US and in some high-end environments, where 128GB RAM machines cannot easily be replaced with a silicon mac.
Sometimes it feels like Apple has no clue how their users actually work and what the industry needs.
