>I've observed that there are two main markets for OpenPOWER workstations, namely people who want to support alternatives to the x86-ARM duopoly

There is no duopoly. There's just x86.

If you only consider PC/server market then yes. But I'm fairly confident any given household has more ARM chips in it than x86 CPUs.

Even your PC has more non-x86 CPUs than x86.

Some of them are microcontrollers. But the PC still runs on x86.

You can actually buy X86 microcontrollers.

Macs are not PCs.

PCs are general purpose computers, the opposite of Apple ecosystem's walled garden.

I guess you haven't used a version of Windows from the past several years.

You're right, I haven't. My PC runs something else.

Yes, but if its operation is invisible to you, and you can't install anything on it (without the use of a soldering gun and a JTAG style adapter), then it really an apt comparison...

But you cannot use your household ARM computers. They use you.
