ACKCHYUALLY, PowerPC (POWER9 included) supports both big and little endian. Software wise, last I checked the Linux kernel, Debian (PPC port), Gentoo, FreeBSD, and several other major projects supported both. I believe KVM also supports flipping VM endianness versus the hypervisor.
Acknowledged, of course, that the spirit of what you said is indeed correct - the majority of systems in active use are little endian.
