Interesting read and the aspect that we may see ARM desktops become more common, based upon Microsoft making more an effort for their ARM support is also credible - only recently saw Windows 10 running natively upon a Raspberry Pi4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTT8GlsqXs8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTT8GlsqXs8
Equally the Linux desktop offering have advanced and by that, more palatable for the average user for a desktop.
Certainly when it comes to most desktops in business, something that can open word and email and odd spreadsheet and powerpoint, that's the bulk of usage right there. Small lower power usage alternative like Rpi4 would do those jobs fine as for most users. So Apple may actually shift that cultural hurdle that prevails in business, maybe.
