Starting from 2.13.0 the PyPi package of TensorFlow offers [packages for ARM64/mac](https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/2.13.0/#files) which is great. If one installs this package on x86\_64-based architectures the dependent package `tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem==0.33.0` is installed which is super useful. Unfortunately, though when someone installs `tensorflow==2.13.0` on an ARM64/mac the package `tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem` is not installed and furthermore this is not possible to do manually either, since `tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem` does not offer packages for the platform ARM64/mac: [tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem/)

This partial support of `tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem` on different architecture is really inconvenient if one does multi platform development, and makes the offerings of TensorFlow as a platform weirdly incomplete.

I was wondering if it was possible to complete this, and build `tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem==0.33.0` packages for arm64/mac? Is there anything prevent the developers supporting arm64/mac in the case of this package? This excludes M1/M2 Macs basically.

Thank you!
