We are talking about Linux kernel here. There are billions of embedded processors running Linux on other than ARM and x86.
S390X (IBM mainframes) and OpenPOWER variants are fully supported by Ubuntu and those are not insignificant market either in banking, finance, or numeric computing.
One reason why Linux runs all Top 500 supercomputers is because it they have number of relatively recent systems close to the top running Sunway (Alpha derivative) , Power and SPARC64. Fastest supercomputer today runs on Sunway.
