Shipping this gets M1 hardware in the hands of developers who can then use it to test their software. You mentioned Rust, which is currently blocked on getting hardware hooked up to CI (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73908)
Also, such an impressive release of hardware shows third party devs that Apple is serious about transitioning, and doing so quickly. Before this laptop was released we didn’t know what the performance delta would be.
