&gt; if Apple doesn&#x27;t find any quick workaround for what seem to be various legal problems<p>Articles like this are exasperating. What legal problems!<p>(this is also a sub-par rewrite of a MacRumors article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.macrumors.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;03&#x2F;02&#x2F;rosetta-macos-11-3-strings&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.macrumors.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;03&#x2F;02&#x2F;rosetta-macos-11-3-stri...</a>)

I think it&#x27;s a bit too fast to disable Rosetta 2 on the ARM-based Macs. Plenty of software that can&#x27;t run natively on these Macs or people (like me) aren&#x27;t inclined to buy a new license for software they don&#x27;t use frequently enough.<p>Personally, I think this would stop me from buying more ARM-based Macs in the short in the future.
