You're right in that Windows will still be a viable platform for the lifespan of this laptop. My point was simply there are legitimate competitors now, especially due to their leveraging of mobile app libraries.
Right now it seems Apple has a better track record when it comes to the risk of ARM fragmentation - bolstered by their Rosetta translator is pretty good and the M1 hardware. For comparison, the Surface Pro X just received x64 emulation but its performance remains generally poor (not helped by the Qualcomm SQ1 SOC).
