Looks like they're planning to only ever support building on Mac, but they plan to support running on Windows and Linux in the future

No, that's not the case — read this whole thread. It's starting with macOS. The cross-platform stuff will come later, if the project goes well.

That is correct. If you install the `electrobun` package via bun or npm, you get a pile of arm64 binaries. These are big enough to ship a web-browser (Electron) so that would explain why they're binaries in the first place.

Add what about macOS (intel)?
