I agree. I appreciated the M1/Metal TensorFlow support, but that was not as easy to setup.
I mean, building tensorflow is generally an awful experience.
You must have installed it a while ago then :). I just recently did and only needed to I stall 2 packages via pip (i think tensoflow-macos and tenderfoot-metal ) which I found much better than wrangling with cuda and cudnn versions for Nvidia cards
