This misses the point entirely. What happens when apple inevitably discontinues support for this hardware.

i have no idea how you think apple silicon will discontinue support for itself.

the hypervisor framework documentation, that i linked above, is pretty clear; the linux builds for arm run extremely fast on apple silicon because hypervisor framework gives them hardware access, in some subsystems directly (memory mapping for example), in other systems through a shim (graphics hardware).

Apple discontinues support for this HW, not Apple discontinues support for running Linux in a hypervisor.

The same thing that has previously happened with discontinued Intel Macs or PC hardware that is no longer supported by Windows.

You can still boot Linux natively on it.
