Rosetta allows them to also run existing x86-64 binaries on their processor with an acceptable performance. It was already supported under MacOS and now they also provide the interpreter to use inside native Linux guests. So an aarch64 Linux distribution can now also run x86-64 binaries.
To be honest this would been useful a couple months ago. I was running a VM that needed some openshift client binary. Unfortunately the binary was only provided in x86-64. But after some digging I manage to find some older version of the client that had an aarch64 version available. Worked for the intended purposes.
