   Well, I for one agree that Apple's move to ARM was a more significant   
   technological event than RISC-V or LoongArch (which is way behind in   
   performance, as far as I know) hypothetically supplanting it one day.   
   Nevertheless, the point remains that the wonderful line ARM uses is   
   limited to MacOS and is completely at the mercy of Apple and their   
   decision on how long it each machine should be supported. At least with   
   the competitors, you can install another system and extend the life of   
   whatever hardware you invest in.
