That will enable Docker images to run natively on the new Apple architecture.
You use docker buildx instead of docker build for this to create multi-architecture images instead of just producing the amd64 one that will run natively on those chips but with emulation on others. An example would be
docker buildx build \
--platform darwin/arm64/v8,linux/amd64
--tag nrel/openstudio:x.y.z
