Just for clarity, the OS is Darwin, the filesystem changed (it was transparent to everyone) from Mac OS Extended (HFS+) to APFS. (SURPRISE) right under our noses. It's just not backward compatible earlier than 10.13 High Sierra that I know of.

Darwin is based on BSD.

Intel apps run on Apple Silicon (M1 and M2 chips to date) via "Rosetta" emulation and it works well for me.
Old-timers will remember when an early version of Rosetta ran PowerPC apps on Intel CPU's.

Motorola MC68000 -> PowerPC -> Intel -> Apple Silicon (ARM)
Rosetta doesn't come installed with newer Macs but is a free download from Apple. Not sure why.
