According to the technical specifications for both the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with M1, the devices can run a single external display. However, it turns out you can attach quite a bit more.
Apple provides the enhanced Universal 2 binary feature to its developers who wish to ship macOS apps that pack in code for both Intel and Apple Silicon systems.
