These tools require installing with admin privileges. Anyway, there's no App Store close to where I live, and I have no doubt about the performance the M1 should yield on the tools I use.
As for the OP's claims according to which the M1 is more than ten times slower than the competition, they appear to contradict results reported here:

I tested
on my iMac with a core i5 7600k. I get 1560 kN/s, which is in line with results reported above.
The M1 yields
3024 kN/s with the command I used.
The scores of 230000 kN/s that the OP mentions must correspond to 256-core compute nodes or something.
