I doubt that will last long with the introduction of the game developer tool kit and the next macOS

Apple's GPU cores suck. As much as you can genuinely praise their CPU work (which you can somewhat easily upscale with more cores and more cache), even the most high-end ARM Mac has a GPU that's just an iPhone GPU with more cores but without any actual high-end features such as raytracing (more of the same limited cores can't just magically become a raytracing engine). Even Steam Deck's GPU is capable of raytracing because it's not an upscaled phone GPU but a downscaled high-end GPU.
