Licensing is a part. VMware moved to per core licensing a while ago and away from per socket.

The other part is some limitations with mixed architecture clusters. Things like DRS and vmotion will be gimped.

The third part is lead times.

Workstation isn’t used in the enterprise. That’s gonna be vsphere and esxi.
