Err, have you not heard of CrossOver? And it's not alone. Not sure how it handles 32 bit though.

By then there will be a whole raft of new Macs. With Intel out of the supply chain can really go gangbusters, and I'm betting they will. They will want all Mac users to upgrade, and the Mxxx chips are certain to get that happening.
My plans for my 'lap' include an OKA, so I'll have more room, and I'm a desktop person, so a Mac Mini Pro is what I'm waiting for. That, plus an iPad Pro, a decent DSLR and I'm set.... Oh wait, I don't have an OKA.

Yes, I know about CrossOver, but I'm used to Boot Camp (which is free). I've also been through emulation before with Rosetta 1 in the move from Power PC to Intel and I've been a Mac user since OS 4. Boot Camp lets me run Windows in a native environment rather than a VM. I'm much happier to stay with Intel because of my 32-bit apps and I don't want Catalina or Big Sur because they don't run 32-bit. I'm quite happy with Mojave. I could also, theoretically, run Parallels on an M1 as long as MS does Windows 10 for ARM, which is only currently available to OEMs, but (a) will they release it to end-users and (b) Parallels is not free. I'm working at getting rid of the Windows apps so I'm hoping that won't be an issue for much longer. The 32-bit problem still remains for me.
Anyway, either approach, Intel or M1, is certainly better to a Mac user than Windows. It's a matter of one's own personal requirements and an Intel processor is a much better solution for my own circumstances than moving to M1. So, each to his or hers own.
All true. I mentioned Crossover as you gave no indication as to your Mac history. I have a similar history, albeit not as far back as OS 4! OS8 was my first foray into . First Mac I owned was a G4 Cube, which I still have. I have absolutely no issues with your choices.
I am also sure that emulation mobs such as Parallels are scrambling to sort something out for the future, or their goose is cooked.
BTW, I am running Big Sur on an unsupported late 2012 27" iMac, [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85)]3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

I should add even though I think this is a good idea, Apple pricing on this upgrade is truly exorbitant. At retail prices it should be less than half that, and would cost them less than a quarter of that price.
My old style 2012 MBP is built so a DIY upgrade is pretty straight forward.
