Despite "tiny" in the name, https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad does a whole lot; notably it has an elaborate JIT-compiler that targets various different things, including METAL on osx; the differences between osx-arm64 and osx-64 are such that the lack of testing is really a massive gap. For example, I'm not sure if tinygrad/tinygrad#13866 is even relevant on osx-arm64, and the applegpu disassembler in conda-forge/tinygrad-feedstock#10 fails on osx-64 with

+[MTLLoader sliceIDForDevice:legacyDriverVersion:airntDriverVersion:]:685: failed assertion `Target device architecture is nil'

This is a rare case where we need native builds even just for testing.
