Its happening (slowly) SBSA/SBBR/etc are out there and being implemented. Its just taking a while for EDK2/linux/etc to get to the point that it can run on a random ARM SOC. Once that happens though, suddenly you have a machine that can install off the shelf linux distros. Right now, There are only a couple systems that work like you would expect (mostly AMD Seattle machines, although there are a couple others) but over the next few years I would expect that the firmware guys to start expanding the device compatibility. Eventually (particularly with ACPI) it will become apparent to the ARM ecosystem, that they can make their devices compatible with the standards, or they can spend millions on engineering effort to build their own firmware/OS stacks that will perpetually be behind the capabilities of the rest of the ecosystem.
