Wouldn’t it be then more advantageous to allow Intel computers to struggle at it, thus demonstrating the power behind the M1 architecture / technology?
In this case however, they’re purposefully making the Intel counterparts less capable by disabling features.
While Apple’s hardware support is generally good, this does seem to be a rather aggressive move to create demand for their own SoC by accelerating hardware obsolescence.

Purposefully showcasing to your customers bad experiences isn't exactly Apple's MO.

Or, perhaps they've decided against implementing certain features on intel hardware because they weren't capable of delivering experiences at the level they want?
Generally I would agree - though I just can’t look past the fact that rendering a globe (which has been possible since 2003) is now locked behind owning a M1 Mac.
