Did Apple remove Boot Camp on Apple Silicon partly to protect native Mac app support?

I’ve been digging into Apple’s transition away from Boot Camp, and I wanted to sanity check my understanding with people who know macOS internals better than I do.

My current theory:

When Apple moved from Intel to Apple Silicon, removing Boot Camp wasn’t just about technical limitations or Microsoft ARM licensing, but also strategically helped Apple protect the Mac software ecosystem by:

• Keeping users in macOS instead of dual-booting Windows full-time
• Encouraging developers to keep building and optimizing native Mac apps
• Preventing Macs from becoming “Windows PCs that happen to run macOS”
• Preserving the value of Apple’s own platform and app ecosystem

Basically, if Apple had allowed easy native Windows booting, a lot of users might’ve relied more heavily on Windows software, which could weaken long-term Mac app support.

Does this line of thinking hold up, or am I overestimating the strategic side versus the technical/business constraints?

It also doesn’t seem that hard for Apple to write their own windows drivers since they have all the documentation and the source code.

Curious what the community thinks.
