You don't know what they did or didn't do to adapt the M1 for computers. There has to be some degree of PCI-E support since they are using thunderbolt ports. There is ethernet on the mac mini with the M1 chip.
Also, from the Docker issue that was posted here yesterday, we know that the A14 does not have support for virtualization and M1 does (I presume the ARM equivalent of VT-X, etc.).
