Jesus, no wonder Microsoft can shove ads and do whatever they want with Windows.

Because well over 90% of shipped computing devices are ARM based.
Desktop computers are a declining and relatively small market. Your home, car and office are full of ARM devices. Potentially hundreds.
x86 lives in the data centre (Linux, not Windows, so contrary to grandparent post, but whatever) and in some desktop systems. Not the majority of systems.
Has nothing to do with an Apple fetish.

Because for those users, it does, and Apple coddles and encourages that mindset.
Yeah, X64 is only used by windows, that's like ~80% of the desktop computing market, plus nearly every server and cloud instance out there, so not much at all. /s
Why do some users assume that the whole world revolves around Apple's iOS/M1 Mac ecosystem as if it exists in a vacuum?
