macs are going the way of iphones and ipads, you'll have to buy a new one every year to have all the features.Not sure if it's already been noted elsewhere but many of the new features in MacOS Monterey will only work on Mac's with Apple Silicon.
New features that are not going to work on Intel Mac's are :-
I'm guessing that these features require the use of either Apples on chip Neural Engine or other unique features of Apple Silicon hence no support on Intel mac's.
- Live Text in photos
- Improved city maps
- High-detail globe view in Apple Maps
- Portrait mode video effect
- On Device translation
- Unlimited/continuous keyboard dictation
This info is confirmed in the fine print at the very bottom of the Monterey Preview page:-
macOS Sonoma
macOS Sonoma brings stunning screen savers, desktop widgets, new ways to share work and web apps along with fun personalization tools and Game mode.www.apple.com
I hate to say it but I think this will be a trend we will see more and more as Apple use the unique features of AS in the new Mac's eventually leaving Intel based Mac's in the dust .....

Can't wait till they start throttling 3 year old devices to ”save” battery life....
and some of the features won't even work on 8 GB base M1 models.
