why would it be only 1 external display? Can you not plug into a thunderbolt dock and use multiple external displays? I do exactly that with my 2012 MacBook Pro.

It's a limitation of the M1 chip apparently

That’s merely speculation as to why.

You can use sidecar with an ipad for a second external display.

With some iPads. Not all. I was thinking of using an older iPad for this purpose, but alas. Won't work. Too old.

The embedded GPU doesn't support it
