It's a huge issue of ARM based systems, that hardly anyone uses or tests things on them (in production).

Yes, Macs going ARM has been a huge boon, but I've also seen crazy regressions on AWS Graviton (compared to how its supposed to perform), on .NET (and node as well), which frankly I have no expertise or time digging into.

Which was the main reason we ultimately cancelled our migration.

I'm sure this is the same reason why its important to AWS.

Macs are actually part of pain point with ARM64 Linux, because the Linux arm set er tend to use 64 kB pages while Mac supports only 4 and 16, and it causes non trivial bugs at times (funnily enough, I first encountered that in a database company...)
