The article states Apple silicone. Not sure why title limits it to M1 and 2.

Asahi only partially supports the M3 and I guess now the M4 is out (though only in iPad)?

Asahi supports M1 and M2 chips because that's what they own.

M3, (and then M4) isn't there because the cheapest hardware, the Mini, doesn't exist with them... And also because work isn't finished on M1/M2.

The way apple sees its computer customer base now as they see their iPhone base (Must Own Latest Must Buy Shiniest), I do hope for the Asahi Linux project they don't keep on iterating endlessly with new hardware twice a year.
