Smartphones used ARM for a while. I think that many of the major libraries were used in one or another project. So I think that this problem won't be as severe, because those bugs hopefully were fixed.

Also Raspberry Pi was a popular choice for many tinkerers for years which also helps with ARM penetration.

What do you mean "for a while"? AFAIK most smartphones are still based on ARM SoCs.

I would read "for a while" as "for a number of years, since the iPhone".

Maybe they meant to say “have been using” instead of “used”.
