And that monolithic mono-culture was NOT able to evolve to reduce power consumption in a reasonable timeframe. It wasn't even a big priority, since nobody expected x86 to be in a person's pocket, ever. (AFAIK). It took an outside player, ARM, to drive the debate. So it's pretty much a validation of what Mozilla's saying.
