Linus's argument is that devs will use the same processors in production that they develop on. But everyone already has to develop for ARM because mobile runs ARM. And now the M1 Macs do too (and these AWS servers). So if you're forced to use ARM because of mobile and now there are good options for desktop and servers to use ARM as well, I don't see why people wouldn't switch to them. Basically Linus's own logic seems to contradict his claim.
