I agree, maybe my wording was confusing but yeah I see the biggest problem for ARM is market penetration. Functionally it’s there already but since so few use it no one is making anything for it and since no one is making anything for it no one uses it.
I will say, I remember a little ARM/x86 assembly, and I think ARM SVE2 and some other bits about the ISA are the coolest thing since sliced bread. Backwards compatibility, going forward from ArmV9, is so much better, if that makes any sense, and the same compile binary should “scale” to huge and tiny cores really well (whereas a lot of x86 assumes you’re running something ancient, and AVX is a total mess).

Yeah exactly!
