You've gone from "no impact at all" to "won't throw everything away" Removing barriers to developers building software on the desktop for the Arm ISA will have an impact on deployment in the cloud. How much - who knows and it's not measurable, but it will.

It's equally plausible, if not more likely, that the impact here is just that Apple laptops are no longer viable for those developing cloud applications where the ISA is relevant.

  I've just bought an Intel MacBook Pro so I can continue to develop for x86 in the cloud! Both things can be true though.

  That’s also possible. But at that point I won’t define the new chip as successful.
