I grew up eating Vienna sausages and deviled ham, so when I say your comment made me dry heave, I need you to know I'm not coming from a place of privilege here.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Oh, this will make my legs work again!" or "This chip bypasses the damage done by [horrible brain disease] allowing you to reclaim some significant percentage of functionality"

You're correct, but it's important to note that the M chips are very expensive to produce, and abandoning x86 means literally all the software iOS and OSX uses needs to be rewritten (or translated via Rosetta). It's a huge project with tons of risks and massive costs. Apple can do this because they're pretty much completely vertically integrated at this point, and control their ecosystem completely. If amd independently released some new non compatible architecture that was dramatically faster, it'd likely be dead in the water.

Intel learned this lesson the hard way during the Itanic days. AMD took the relatively safer approach when they released amd64.

Cube rule says starch is on the outside, so it's a sandwich.

IF you refuse to recognize the cookie as a starch, then an ice cream sandwich is a salad.

I wish I could ask the writers if the holodeck scene was a direct call-out to the old something awful blue stripes series
