> There is so little incentive to move away from x86 right now

Massively lower power consumption and way less waste heat to dispose of.

Literally the two biggest concerns of every data centre on earth.

ARM does not inherently have "massively lower power consumption and waste heat", though.

Market forces have traditionally pushed Intel and AMD to design their chips for a less efficient part of the frequency/power curve than ARM vendors. That changed a few years ago, and you can already see the results in x86 chips becoming more efficient.
