Two points to think about on this issue:
1) When Apple moved away from PowerPC, they did so entirely.
2) Apple historically* wanted to keep its hardware offerings simple and easy to understand, and supporting multiple architectures could muddy their offerings.
* When Jobs returned to Apple, he killed the confusing lineups in favor of one option each of desktop or mobile, for pros and home users. This has changed a bit lately, but I can imagine ARM and Intel options of Macbook vs Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro being a nonstarter.
Anyway, I agree, an ARM Macbook Air would be awesome, assuming the software followed suit.
