Watching the WWDC, my impression is this is an incredibly smart move for Apple, and this will effective combine their iOS and OS into one and give them far more control. This move will very likely propel Apple forward even more than the 1st iPhone.
A few things I see in Apple's press release:

The Bitwig team will probably be looking at the "DTK":Apple plans to ship the first Mac with Apple silicon by the end of the year and complete the transition in about two years. Apple will continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come, and has exciting new Intel-based Macs in development. The transition to Apple silicon represents the biggest leap ever for the Mac.
This will definitely create some extra work for the Bitwig team.The DTK, which must be returned to Apple at the end of the program, consists of a Mac mini with Apple’s A12Z Bionic SoC inside and desktop specs, including 16GB of memory, a 512GB SSD, and a variety of Mac I/O ports. Developers can apply to the program at developer.apple.com, and the total cost of the program is $500.
