Android Studio on M1 MacBook Pro Cannot Simulate System Images with ABI armeabi-v7a

Android Studio on my M1 Macbook Pro can simulate all the system images with ABI arm64-v8a really well (API 24, 29, 30, 31). However, it fails to run all the images with ABI armeabi-v7a (e.g. API 19 KitKat). The error message is "AVD Manager: The emulator process for AVD Pixel_2_API_19 has terminated".

I'm not sure why the older images only have ABI armeabi-v7a. I wonder if there is a workaround for this or I need to wait for Android Studio to patch it.

Here is a screenshot of the available images for reference

Apple M1 doesn't have aarch32 mode, the on-chip hardware 32bit emulator.

And I doubt anyone would write an aarch32 software emulator for aarch64 since the hardware emulator is a proven, powerful, and cheap option for chip vendors.

It's not a "known issue" since it will never be resolved IMO.
