>When Google decided they wanted to control all the computing on their servers, from bare metal up, they ran into the ME. Why not go AMD or do they do something equivalent to the intel ME?

They do, it’s called the Platform Security Processor.

  Why not go to Arm?

    No good options?

      Depends on what is "good" for you: https://pine64.org/pinebook https://pine64.org/pinebook.

        For me it’s probably fine. For Google, it’s not.

        You can't buy these. All pinebooks are out of stock due to chip shortage or what stock is there is reserved. So no, that suggestion isn't good for basically everybody.

    Fun fact - the AMD PSP is actually an Arm core.
