I bet this has less to do with ARM and more to do with it not being x86. Given as much time, what will we have to say about RISCV? And what of the legacy of MIPS? Not-x86 chips keep grabbing headlines because it's exciting to think of what competition could look like. But then none of them do the hard work to make an entire platform/ecosystem that would be required to make a compelling product that has an upgrade path as x86 was destined to be from the beginning. Well, RPI hasn't done bad though. Unless these other technologies standardize, x86 can't expect much competition in existing markets. I guess Android was an exception in that phones were already a market of throwaway garbage devices so there was no expectation that good support would occur.
