arm64 architecture (Apple M1), because GitHub Actions don't have hosted runners with Apple M1 yet." Github Actions released support for M1 MacOS runners in Oct 2023. Github actions released support for arm64 runners in Oct 2023 as well.
nrfutil is a prerequisite for the nrf sdk. It is only built for x86 platforms.
Docker helps to standardize builds across Mac, Windows and GNU+Linux environments, reducing build differences between different operating systems.
