Of course. Any such flaws in the Linux kernel or any library used by Android should have been found by now, for example. But the number of ARM processors running developer/server/desktop stacks has been tiny until recently. In my experience, quite a lot of Linux on desktop software fails to even build on non x86_64 machines.

Are you kidding? Arm computers are by far the most common over the past 10 years. Computers are everywhere and servers and home computers account for at most 10% of the market for cpus and microcontrollers.
