Microsoft will incentivize developers through various means to help move apps to the new WinRT platform fairly quickly, thus help seed the ecosystem with ARM compatible apps. This isn't the same Windows Phone 7 apps chicken and egg problem. Microsoft will be pushing millions of Windows 8 computers into peoples homes sometime next year, which will help the seeding process. When this happens, I suspect we will see Microsoft provide preferred Windows Store placement for Metro apps, and a "Developed for Metro" strategy that makes the legacy x86 app experience seem antiquated and clunky. This upgrade sales opportunity will incentivize developers to push out new versions, which will help seed the ARM compatible apps ecosystem.
