@HotCakeX yes, but the question is "are all 5x Edge apps apple cpu compatible, no matter of rosetta", because all apps are now m1 compatible, but once rosetta is removed (example in 2025) such apps don't work anymore.
Now we exclude the topic "Edge devs release new Apps until 2025, like they did until now". is only about compatibility of current apps. For example can i use a flash compatible Edge in 2022 without rosetta? Or can i use a 2020 version, if in 2021 edge devs remove some features (like apple did with safari, or other browser too).
Is the same like asking "Can i use Firefox 64 on Apple CPU?" and the answer is "no, Firefox 64 with PNG support is not Apple CPU compatible, even if i can run it on M1"

Running Edge on ARM PC is not the same like running Edge on Big Sur (with Intel) or running on ARM Mac with Rosetta and Big Sur or ARM Mac without Rosetta (maybe MacOS 11.6) or inside Parallels Desktop using a ARM Mac without Rosetta support (ex. MacOS 11.6 with BigSur in Parallels). There are huge difference.
