At the high end, Apple isn't in this market. ARM designs don't really compete well (yet). Graviton3 is great value but it does not unseat EPYC or even Xeon for raw performance.

Well, the Nuvia acquisition seems to indicate that at least Qualcomm wants to . might be some generations before we see their designs.

I wonder if district gerrymandering plays a role in the US. When your districts become packed to the extent that it's safely owned by one party, the only risk to an elected official's seat is a primary from a more extreme candida

I think it's similar to the whole javascript/node concept. In many ways, web development is like a single distributed application between client and server. So if you write your client code in Rust/Zig/C++/etc and
