I'd guess this is due to some Paypal fraud protection thing thinking that Linux on M1 is an "impossible" configuration to have and that anyone with that configuration must be spoofing their hardware.
If you click onto the bug she filed, it's also kind of sad/funny that the Mozilla employee responding to it ALSO assumes that nobody can actually run Linux on M1 and renames the bug to "paypal.com - Spoofing as Apple M GPU breaks the login process by triggering a block to the security challenge".
It's a shame because Asahi runs really well on M1 & M2. I hope that they're able to get this resolved and that other issues like this don't pop up in the future.
Wouldn't be a problem if everyone wasn't probing every bit of the User's system for their own ends, but given the incentives we've put in place, that ship has sailed.
