Meanwhile software is seemingly a horrible mixed bag that has only been exasperated with the Arm jump.

I haven't had this experience - The rosetta emulation is so good I honestly couldn't tell you whether much of anything is Apple Silicon native or running in emulation mode.

Might be specific to my ops job then, as I seem to keep running into software that goes 'lol the fuck are you doing'. Most of my Mac experience is post-Arm jump so maybe they're mostly general MacOS issues.

That's fair. I would also agree with your "If you don’t mind staying in Apple’s little zoo then you’re not going to have issues." sentiment. It used to be better in the Apple ecosystem where there were many ways to skin the cat, but it seems like if something gets "sherlocked" by Apple, most people seem to be fine with keeping the Apple thing and not straying too far afield.
