It’s almost like modern Mac users can’t play games well on their Arm based hardware…but hey let the Linux guys have another scintillating victory……Yotld!

ARM isn't the issue. They run in the x86 emulator fine. I can't tell they aren't native. The problem is virtually no games support MacOS. ARM or x86. Anything that does seems to run really well.

I can play minecraft at 120hz for hours and hours on battery and it's a great experience.

I don't use Mac myself but the impression I got was a lot of Mac back catalog games got flushed when 32-bit was deprecated.

Yes. They also pissed off almost every developer by cutting off their legacy revenue stream. No one is going back to update an old 32-bit game to 64-bit. Apple burned a lot of bridges in the gaming community with that move, and other boneheaded stuff like their refusal to support Vulkan.
