Yeah, a lot of small deployments(<100, <1000) use amd64 because they can buy them in small quantities and they don't need an embedded developer to hack something together that ships on the hardware. I personally think arm64 is often a better choice for these kinds of systems but it's also hard to find people who are comfortable with non-Windows systems in these spaces and you have to go that direction if you go arm64. So you'll see a lot of cheap, technically "embedded," Windows systems that are sitting in places driving displays or providing kiosk functionality because the economics work a lot better than trying to find an embedded Linux developer and build an arm64 system around the same thing.
