I'd bet heavily on them doing so.

"Why is simple, perception. It has no relevance on facts or performance but there are lots of builders who hate the idea of not being able to use off-the-shelf parts."

Builders aren't buying Macs, and haven't for *years*, it's antithetical to the builder philosophy.

I honestly don't know who would have purchased an Intel Mac a month ago, who would be turning down an M1 Mac now. I mean, if you absolutely *have* to run Windows, natively, booted directly via BootCamp, then yes, you're probably out of the running, but when the benchmarks running Windows/ARM in a hypervisor environment are faster than Windows/Intel directly on the old machines... that's kind of interesting.

Yes, there are certainly going to be some people who think this is a bad move. I would gladly wager significant amounts of hard cash with them.
