The graph at the end seems pretty dubious. For example, for the AvxUnrollCopier, why does data transfer speed jump to >120gb/s for 4kb, then down to ~50gb/s for 32kb, then down to <20gb/s for 16mb? It just doesn't make sense.
Will this create significant issues and extra work to support Debian specifically right now? Not saying that we shouldn't bite the bullet, just curious how much libraries have been implicitly depending on the time type to be 32-bit.
The issue is that Apple didn't make it clear to users what was happening, and so people thought that their phones were just slowing down from age, causing them to buy new ones without understanding that the only real issue was the battery. Apple has paid hundreds of millions in damages and fines due to this.
Apple does not have a good track record of making devices that are built to last. It has repeatedly opposed right-to-repair legislation, and has been exposed as secretly throttling the CPU of phones as the battery decays, without making that known to users. If it really is Apple's vision to sell AirPods as a lasting product, it stands in stark contrast to its overall history.
