I mostly agree with you, Joakim. I own a very nice (but now old) 
ODROID U2 (check the ODROID XU4 or C2!) so ARM support is 
important for me...

Also, check this:

HOWEVER, I think Iain is right - PPC64 and RISC-V are becoming 
more and more popular nowadays and may become more popular than 
ARM in the future but that future is unclear.
