no.
this is not really true, and more importantly i think it spreads confusion.

the truth (according to john) is:
- for newer macOS versions, miller uses binaries produced by the iem-ci
- the iem-ci currently does not build arm64 binaries
  - simply because the XCode version installed there is too old
- this means that Pd-core (on the downloads) is only x86_64
- the iem-ci does not build Tcl/Tk *at all*
- instead it uses a pre-built binary (similar to the one found in mac/stuff.tgz) - this pre-built blob is Tcl/Tk-8.6.12 and it is a universal build for arm64 and x86_64


this raises the following questions:
Q1: why is the iem-ci not updated to a newer XCode that allows to build arm64 binaries for macOS?
A1: because I haven't found the time yet to do so

Q2: why isn't Tcl/Tk build along with Pd
A2: because I don't want our CI to spend time compiling a helper library that we is not actively developed by *us*


because of the situation with the externals, i do not consider the current situation extremely bad.
