Rosetta 1 was licenced third party technology back when the company wasn't exactly rolling in money. https:/www.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTransit If you have to pay the licensing fee again every time you want to release a new version of the OS, you've got a fiscal incentive to sunset Rosetta early. Rosetta 2 was developed in-house. Apple owns it, so there is no fiscal reason to sunset it early. | ||
