This is a developer desktop. Its purpose is to develop software for the ARM architecture, therefore all you need for this machine is kernel support and development tools, all of which support ARM.
I don’t see the competitive advantage
What about being able to compile and test for the targeted architecture? For example, Ampere-based servers are increasingly being deployed, I don’t think there’s a car out there running x86, and Apple started a trend of ARM based laptops. There’s a new architecture in mainstream computing and those who have native ARM machines to test their products on have an advantage over those who don’t.
