It wasn't that long ago all Apple hardware was PowerPC.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but Apple's foray into broadly standard hardware is the exception for them. Sadly.

PowerPC was an attempt to standardize (at a least a subset of) the industry on a common RISC processor. There were even two attempts at industry standards for PowerPC motherboards (PreP and CHRP, the latter with Apple's active participation).
