That's fair, arbitrary wasn't the right word. They were chosen for the use case of a smart phone, not a general purpose computer. People pretending that they are reasonable for a general purpose computer are missing the boat IMO.
But some things are arbitrary. For example, only allowing one web browser engine is 100% arbitrary (or worse, an abuse of monopoly power).

- enos_feedler 6y agoYes those people are missing the boat. We don’t have to worry about them though. Let’em suffer the pain of ignorance ;)
