There's something to be said about why those architectures, plus many others, died in favor of an x86 monoculture.

I think that has a lot more to do with the economics around Linux, Windows, and macOS on commodity amd64 hardware becoming “good enough” to replace servers and workstations running on other, more expensive, architectures. Not having to deal with architecture porting issues is just gravy at that point.
