rails-dev-box needs VirtualBox as the vagrant provider. VirtualBox has no plan to support Apple Silicon Macs as explained at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=98742 |

Summary
Currently the "Contributing to Ruby on Rails" guide specifies that
rails-dev-boxwon't work with M1 Macs, but this is actually true of any Mac with Apple silicon including M1 Pro/Max/Ultra and the new M2 Macs.I reworded this part of the guide to be more future-proof, as otherwise it may need to be updated for any future Apple silicon Macs (i.e. M3, M4) to specify that
rails-dev-boxwill not work for them.
