I'm just not really buying this as the justification, Mac has almost never been about competing on raw performance and moving to ARM could even mean a large performance hit for most software where performance counts for years to come.
Although I guess we also keep getting lectured on how amazingly powerful iPad Pros are yet we never really see them do anything beyond a paint program, GarageBand level music production, basic video editing and keynote.
