Qualcomm and MS haven’t been all that successful with Arm based PCs and it’s a long road to get the whole ecosystem on board. So many 3rd party ISVs, hardware, periperals, drivers, etc that don’t want to commit resources for questionable return. Would NVidia be any more successful than QC? Questionable, and who knows, perhaps Intel may get tapped to actually manufacture those chips.
Yeah sure, Apple is able to pull it off because it’s a closed ecosystem and there is no choice for the 3rd party ISVs and such since Apple x86 is a dead end.

Consumers don’t care about architectures, they care about features and usability.
Current intel cpus are pretty efficient already anyways. My NUC idles at ~2W and has thanks to x86 the best possible software compatibility.
