>The big question is—will this $599 desktop be enough to push more developers towards cross-compiling for native ARM64 software on Windows?
No, more consumer hardware like the Surface series will push devs. Who will eventually want to get out of the x86 emulation layer and run their programs native.
Comparing this to an M1 Mini is a bit odd since they're not competing with each other at all, and Microsoft is limited by what Qualcomm et al can put out.
