I think this is exactly what they're issuing this notice to address. Rosetta performs so well that vendors are pretty okay just using it as long as possible, but a two year warning gives a clear signal that it's time to migrate.
If it's ok now then what's even the problem with letting it be?
One problem from Apple’s perspective is that it continues to cost them money to maintain both the translation layer and the x86_64 frameworks on an ongoing basis.
I mean, is it really an excessive burden to keep a "too popular" feature alive for users? Features users pay for cost money to build and maintain. These aren't unique situations.
It would be different if the feature wasn't popular at all but that doesn't seem to be the case.
