Nobody cares about server market, literally if it runs on abacus fast enough it's ok.

Developers! DEvelopers! Developers!

ARM should be in consumer space, millions of laptops for developers first running Windows and Linux

With the cloud and managed runtimes (or stuff like POSIX), I don't care one second what CPUs are running there (beyond endiness and using the right widths), I never wrote hand Assembly for such kind of deployments and the optimizer was good enough for our workloads.

The only issue would be libraries available only in binary form for AOT compiled languages.
