Apple Silicon processors bring a ton of capabilities and new features that just were not possible or just plain too difficult with Intel. Apple started this journey way back in 2008. Now here's some macOS Monterey features only available on an M1.

The major problems that I reported a week ago have been fixed by the Big Sur 11.1 update - no problems after running the update for a week.

Apple Silicon M1 Macs are having some BIG, Big Sur Problems !!! Huge memory management bugs in macOS Big Sur are crashing my new M1 MacBook Air and the 2019 Intel MacBook Air and causing serious performance problems.
