They can "make the choice" to continue Intel support also. It's not like they don't know what chips they used and have all the insider NDA info about them.

It's a pretty huge cost to support an entirely different set of hardware with different kernel extensions and an entirely different build (x86 instead of arm64e). Could apple choose to do that? Absolutely. But the cost of supporting an M1 is very different than the cost of supporting Intel.
