Since they control the hardware, Apple probably has invested quite a bit into hardware specific optimizations that won't readily port to AMD chipsets.

It's in Apple's history to be able to move on from hardware. It's also in their history to make the wrong choices, necessitating the move.

money is they’ll move in next 5 years to at least partial move to their own ARM chips, they already have to a degree.

People have been saying that for the last 5 years if not longer.
