For a while it was Intel and ppc but similar graphics back end. Then it was Intel on both. But Mac had a special graphics back end. Now with Mac it's arm and proprietary graphics back end both. While they've been willing to put up with one or the other in the past. It's just not worth it to deal with both for such a small user base.

Exactly, and they can simply use Windows in a virtual machine anyway.
