Your argument seems reasonable, until we bring to the table all the shit that Intel did to beat AMD out of the x86 market. These deeds were from their marketing department, so no relation with chip design per se, but as a company they were still actively trying and almost succeeded in killing any diversity in the x86 market. It’s basically like saying “we are building stuff customers wanted, we just also beat to death any other potential alternative they could want as well”
