A comment on Ask HN: So, where is the ARM desktop PC?. Parent comment
If your definition of PC is "runs Windows" there's a business reason macs don't.
The reason Apple Silicon doesn't run Windows (on metal, Parallels works fine...) is rumoured to be because Microsoft made a deal with Qualcomm: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/22/microsoft-qualcomm-arm-...
So if you want an arm PC with Windows, you have to buy one with a Qualcomm SOC. They exist, but the reason you probably haven't heard of them is that they were not really "remarkable" enough to capture mainstream attention.
