How to stop annoying popups.."you need rosetta..." ?

Few applications in my new iMac M1, require Rosetta to open. I don't want to install Rosetta, will wait until the developers do their upgrade. Meantime I install one such application, I think "TrashIt". When I click to open another application, which appears to be requiring Rosetta, this popup jumps up, referring to the uninstalled "TrashIt" needed Rosetta. Why is that ?

And another application, also requires Rosetta, and the same pup again says "TrashIt" requires Rosetta.

Can I disable these applications with Intel ? Will it stop these popups ?

And how to disable them ?

Thanks!

It's actually been around a while. I first heard it used with the original Rosetta. In programming lingo, it means translating code meant for one CPU to another.

That's quite a bit different explanation than the article I read for how Rosetta (Leopard, Snow Leopard version) worked. Or possibly, the writer was dumbing it down to a simpler phrase.
