Other way round I believe rosetta was to run x86 compiled apps on arm chips. So they are just pulling up the bridge to avoid a situation where developers feel like just making an intel/amd binary that will work on both platforms
Right, but Apple is doing this because most users have switched to ARM at this point and they will be ending software support for x86. So it seems safe to presume Intel macs will become cheap.
