It’s not drive. Just investment. There is no demand for high performance desktop/laptop ARM CPUs outside Apple.
Chromebooks are mostly low price, and may lack the software to truly push the chips often (without dropping into dev mode).
Windows on ARM seems to be a near failure. Very little native software and x86(-64) emulation is far slower than Rosetta. May not matter, they seem to be low cost machines anyway.
Linux just isn’t a big enough consumer market to drive it.
Server seems to be the big front for ARM, but that’s a very different chip. So I’m under the impression ARM laptops (outside Apple) are just phone chips, which don’t compete on the same level.
