He has a point, although that is not all there is.
Most web stuff dont deploy on x86, they deploy on VM or more specifically JVM. Which is someone else's problem. Amazon and Oracle are both spending resource making sure it works flawlessly.
I mean seriously, most doing Web Development dont even want to touch the VM.
You may want to ask Amazon, who is trying to get as many Graviton 2 produce as possible from TSMC because the demand for them are outstripping supply.
And all of that was before Apple even announced their switch to ARM on Mac.
For some workload it is half the cost on R6g than x86 instances. And for some like Twitter, they will invest into making sure it works with ARM. Those works get filter down the pipe. Medium-Large size companies see ecosystem matures and clear cost benefits they will move.
