The cause could be that they're lasting longer. Or it could be the fact that they're not repairable, don't support virtual machines or windows, have cut corners internally to increase profits margins and for the most part don't play games. The company I work for, previous the ARM CPU switch bought MacBooks exclusively and either ran windows in parallels or used boot camp. We can no longer do that to run any of the tools we use for machine programming or troubleshooting so we buy razer blade 15s now. That battery isn't as great but they're powerhouses and have awesome repairability.
You can run virtual machines on Apple Silicon. I have done it myself. Also Razer are known for bad reliability.
You can, but with emulationb for anything needing x86 (like Windows). Which means it's slow and unusable
Nope, they use Windows for ARM
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.
