Most people are essentially developing fancy/overcomplicated wordpress themes. They're at an abstraction where architecture just isn't exposed to them directly, or as much.

I can certainly imagine a 'serverless' platform like Lambda or something where running on ARM is just an implementation detail (if it's not already).

That is true, but it is also true that the WordPress and PHP running on that ARM lambda will not be as stable as the x86 lambda if the vast majority of their developers only run x86 at home.

Their developers can ssh/webshell into a cloud instance, just like we used to do with telnet/X-Windows 20 years ago.

("overcomplicated wordpress themes" was just a dig at how a lot of business is just landing pages or essentially blogs)
