That's rather unfortunate to hear, given Apple is committed to their own silicon replacement for Intel, which is based on ARM.
I'm using Win11Pro under Parallels 18 VM on an M1 MacBook Pro. Poser 11 and 12 for windows have run just fine in that.
I'm aware that installers for some software intended for windows computers will fail to proceed if they detect a CPU that is not x86/x64, as the ARM CPUs will be.
Later macOS systems have Rosetta2 which can emulate intel CPUs, though if software has a specific CPU type test, that's a moot point.

I am hoping that the assertion that Poser will not be built for ARM is a windows specific consideration, not ARM in general, else there will never be an Apple Silicon native version of Poser 13 and later.
