While that is perfectly true from the pure technical facts, I have to add that 
building in Parallels on a M1 is ok-ish. You have to crank up the VM way beyond 
the defaults, to something like 6-8core, 16+X GB RAM, but then it’s bearable 
for the occasional user. When you can’t get your hands on a proper environment, 
its certainly an option.
