Does Apple make their own displays? Maybe they just ran out of panels you could buy without a digitizer already built-in.

No, buy a new one and try it for a month. Apple's return policy is very lenient.

We're really not far from that with this: https://github.com/willfaust/madeira

The ecosystem for running x86 games on snapdragon phones is already fairly robust. Crossover on my apple silicon mac works wonders.
