>ARM to IPO
I'll be looking to pick up some shares as a long-term investment. I think ARM is one of the best things to happen to computing, and anything that threatens the x86 monoculture/hegemony is a good thing in my view.

You mean the PC standard?
I love ARM and the power-efficient mobile devices it enabled in the past two decades. That being said, I am deeply concerned with the lack of coherent hardware standards in ARM devices causing fragmentation and necessitate custom kernels, ROMs, and firmware.
If it weren't for PC, Linux might have died long ago.
Its a bit like the way you need more than an x86 CPU, you need an "IBM PC Compatible" system[1] with various buses and peripherals in the right memory locations, BIOS/UEFI firmware etc. for generic PC OSes to work. SBSA standardises something like an equivalent of an "IBM PC" for ARM Servers.
[1] Or whatever you would call it nowadays, as legacy BIOS booting is fading away modern systems might not count as that.
The companies that have their own invoice printer will “win”, the others will suffer.

There are more ARM cores in the world by multiple orders of magnitudes at this point. ARM is the bully now, not Intel anymore.
