Developers weren’t really “forced” to support ARM. They simply recognized that all future Macs would be ARM, whereas most new PCs would continue to run on x86. So the incentive to adopt ARM was much weaker on the PC side.

Microsoft can do the same for windows - they need to address the fat bundle solution that Apple came up with, but for Windows, though ..
