This is where I'm confused. Games for Mac seem to run fine on both Intel Mac and Apple silicone Mac, and run even better on the later.

The only downside is Apple has dropped support for 32bit so it broke a lot of old games.

If Valve can make Proton to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux, I'm sure they can do something to make x86 games run on ARM (just like Apple did and they're not even focused on gaming, Apple hates gamers)

Apple specifically designed their ARM CPUs to be able to efficiently translate x86 code. A generic ARM CPU won't be able to get the same performance. Maybe other manufacturers will do the same as ARM PCs get more common.
