Yeah those are a teeny tiny fraction of CPUs on the market. Little Endian should be the default and the rare big endian CPU gets to run the slow path. Almost no code anyone here will write will run on those chips. It’s not something almost any programmer needs to worry about. And those that do can easily add support where it’s necessary. The point is that big endian is an extreme outlier.
