Apple USB SuperDrive no longer supported on M1 Macs.

It seams that Apple is no longer supporting the Apple USB SuperDrive (Model - A1379) with specific drivers for M1 Macs.

Below is the same drive plugged into 2 different intel Macs, and 1 M1 mac.

Looking at System information on my 2018 intel MacBook Pro & 2018 intel MacMini, both running macOS Monterey 12.3. Both display the same info.

The USB Superdrive is recognised as an Apple Shipping Drive. Displays exact manufacturer and model.

On my 2020 MacBook Air M1, running macOS Monterey 12.3.

Only recognised as a generic drive. No longer shows exact manufacturer and model.

Music ripping programs also no longer can see the exact make and model. Such as dBpoweramp & X Lossless Decoder(XLD).

What is the difference between 'Apple Shipping Drive' and 'Generic Drive Support'?

Is there a way to work out what has changed? Is it better or worse in the way the drive works?
