Qualcomm already upstreamed a lot into the 6.8/6.9 kernel, more including GPU have been submitted for 6.10/6.11 and existing Microsoft branded devices like Surface ARM run Linux. The programs run in Windows on ARM are no longer restricted/special and can be x86 32/64 bit as well. It's really not a bad direction, the question is more is it the most interesting direction for most consumers when you include competition like Chromebooks on the low end and MacBooks on the high end.
