We realistically can't as we simply don't have the CI for
arch64-apple-darwin based on the definition of tier 1. Otherwise we would
all have to run every PR against the buildbot fleet just to test against
Apple Silicon.

Yep, and my hope is we will have CI that can run on Apple Silicon at some
point which will let us promote the platform, but until then it's not at
the same level as the x64 support.
