I hadn’t considered that the reason many developers still don’t support Apple Silicon natively is because iLok doesn’t yet support it (at least not in its final form). Looks like that’ll change soon which will probably result in a rapid increase in Apple Silicon support - https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/production-expert-1/ilok-to-get-native-apple-silicon-support-very-soon
“ We also know that our customers depend on us to keep their software absolutely secure from piracy, tampering, and IP theft, and that if we don't support Apple Silicon, they can't either. To that end, we have been working aggressively to deliver this support.
We delivered initial support to our licensing ("Eden") customers in August of 2020 and some of those customers have since published new versions that run natively on Apple Silicon, which has been very well-received by their users.
We have also reorganized our development schedule to bring Apple Silicon support into our high-security tamper-protection product, Fusion. This work is extremely complex given the significant changes at the OS level. We’re happy to now announce that we expect to have a beta version of Fusion in publishers' hands in November, and a final version before the end of the year. For our customers [software developers] who depend on us for strong protection on Apple Silicon, the wait is nearly over, and we expect that their end users will see new versions soon thereafter.”
