You can run virtual machines on Apple Silicon. I have done it myself. Also Razer are known for bad reliability.

We've had no problems with them so far and the fact that they can be easily dusted and cleaned has made them more reliable than the MBPs we were using. In a dirty environment they fill with dust and don't live long.

You can, but with emulationb for anything needing x86 (like Windows). Which means it's slow and unusable

Right which still isn't the x86 version of windows that basically every vendor I've come across requires for tooling software and machine programming. It's okay to be wrong fan boy.
