Because years , if not decades of legacy server code could be ran on Arm without re-writing anything.
An EC2 rival could run the same processes using 30% of the power. Plus as ARM tends to run on much smaller devices, you could theoretically save tons of physical space with data centers.

Assuming you could also have the same reliability, I'd believe you could get the cost way down. Who wouldn't want to operate their service for half price
