Apple obviously provides kernel level support for IO port access, and sometimes a generic kernel driver, and they did provide a the Rosetta 2 shim when things change at the kernel level, but the ball seems to be mostly in the court of the peripheral makers. This experience tells me that the peripheral makers are largely responsible for providing support for their devices on Apple platforms. Some time later, quite recently in fact, Logitech released a native version driver that works as-expected for a subset of their devices, with support for more devices coming soon. But the Rosetta 2 “shim” method never worked quite right so Logitech discouraged users from using it. It looked like support for Logitech Options (for configuring keyboard and mouse options) would follow a similar path. The scanner maker eventually released a native driver for Apple Silicon which I download from the scanner manufacturer, which worked even better. When I upgraded my wife to the latest M1 iMac her scanner only worked with Rosetta 2 support.
