Does "M4 hardware" mean running directly on Apple's M4 CPU bare metal,
or does it also include running inside a virtual machine under
Parallels, VMware Fusion, UTM, etc.? If this is a problem inside
virtual machines, I personally don't think that would be acceptable.
If it's a baremetal-only issue, then meh, probably not that big of a
deal. Just my 2 cents on the matter.
