installing 2024.2 on Mac M2 MacOS 13.6.1

We had thought Flame was native on Silicon now, but during install, Rosetta is required. Am I missing something?

From Autodesk site:  
“Apple silicon-native - Flame, Flame Assist, and Flare are natively supported on Mac computers equipped with Apple silicon processors, like the M1 and M2.”

What we see on install.

Flame 2024 and up = native Apple Silicon.

Maybe the installer needs Rosetta?

Hey, this means installer needs rosetta to install native-flame, right? So installer is not native but flame is?
