Is controller-runtime tools unsupported on darwin/arm64?

It looks like there is no kubebuilder-tools that support darwin/arm64. Considering Intel Mac will be replaced by M1 Mac, the darwin/arm64 files must be added in near future.

However, there is a workaround for M1 Mac.
If you need to run kubebuilder-tools on M1 Mac, you can just add --arch=amd64option to setup-envtest command to use Intel binaries. The downloaded Intel binaries will run via Rosseta2.

Just modify Makefile's test target generated by kubebuilder:

test: manifests generate fmt vet envtest ## Run tests.
-	KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS="$(shell $(ENVTEST) use $(ENVTEST_K8S_VERSION) -p path)" go test ./... -coverprofile cover.out
+	KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS="$(shell $(ENVTEST) --arch=amd64 use $(ENVTEST_K8S_VERSION) -p path)" go test ./... -coverprofile cover.out

Native binaries for darwin/arm64 would be much appreciated!
