They did it since at least 2 OS version. It is impossible to run a 32 bit software on latest MacOS unless you keep an older version on dual boot. Or Linux but it is still a dual boot.
From memory it did not had a huge impact, most 32 bit software or games are old enough that you slowly start to forget about it and just use something else.
Back in 2019, apparently. Honestly felt like a lot longer
Using Whisky it’s possible to install the Windows version of Steam, after which even 32bit games will run perfectly. I had Portal running on my M2 Air.
It’s just so clunky to have to jump through those hoops.
