I know little about this but I have come across this:
"The Intel Macs will include a technology called Rosetta, which allows
programs written to run on Macs with a PowerPC processor to run on a
Mac with an Intel processor. The process is not like running Classic,
but will be completely transparent to users--you just double-click on a
PowerPC program and it runs. Simple as that!"
If true there is not an issue here.

It is an issue because some customers will expect Universal Binary
apps if they have an Intel Mac. If you can't offer one because RB
doesn't produce them, but a competitor does offer one, then you will
likely lose sales to such customers.
It's much like the 68K -> PPC transition a decade ago. Yes, you could
run 68K apps under emulation. Most stuff worked fine, just slower.
But there still was the perception that a native PPC app was
"better". And in marketing, perception is everything.
