Big Sur just came out... and oh look https://twitter.com/lapcatsoftware/status/1326990296412991489
Big Sur will no longer start programs without checking if it's allowed. It turns out that they hadn't yet scaled that up, so it crashed when people stampeded to install Big Sur, and thus no-one could start a non-Apple program. This is the OS release that "is engineered for Apple’s powerful M1 chip".
So the fundamentals of my what I fear are in this OS release.

Advice right now... DO NOT DOWNLOAD BIG SUR TODAY.
I mean, we're all going to get it... but let them scale up the servers that allow you to run software on your own machine first.

They've had the option to do that since forever and never have. Changing the CPU ISA doesn't make it more or less likely. The Mac App Store is still a joke and they had to walk back a big chunk of the sandboxing rules.
The fundamental problem is that macOS has very little reason to exist if it isn't an open(-ish) platform.
