It is of course a general stereotype in that its useful for prediction but its not as solid as, say, the law of gravity, but ARM comes from a software as a project world where you write the code for a specific piece of hardware with a defined and short production life, whereas Intel desktop PC comes from a software as a product world where you expect your word processor to keep working even if you replace your motherboard or swap in a faster CPU. One has a world of permanently sealed cases and firmware thats never updated (with unfortunate security results) whereas the other at least in theory has user-serviceable parts inside a screwed together case. Ironically that sounds a lot like MAC vs PC so it makes sense that MAC would go ARM.
