Surface Pro X has the same low power, low heat, no fans, instant on from sleep as MacBook Air M1. It seems you're against the platform in general. Qualcomm are considered the best in the business next to Apple and you've already said you think their chips are poor. And Surface Pro X is not really a match for even a base specced MacBook Air. Mediatec is pretty much known for basic processors, underperforming in most benchmarks except maybe power efficiency. The perspective of maybe getting a Mediatec ARM chip as a competition to Qualcomm is not really encouraging. I use the Web App on ChromeOS but it shouldn't be the go to on a platform as mature as Windows. Mac M1 users are happy because EverNote pulled their finger out and did the developing. It's fair to at least ask EverNote do the same on Windows. In any case none of this is relevant to a developer supporting a platform. Mediatek are rumoured to be releasing a Window on ARM chip too. On Windows 11 they're very capable, but to respond to your point Qualcomm's exclusive contract with Microsoft expires this year. I'm guessing you've not actually used a Windows on ARM PC. There are no performance issues using Windows on ARM with Snapdragon chips with ARM64 optimised apps. The sole issue with Windows on ARM is 32-Bit/64-Bit emulation, of which EverNote is part of this problem.
The Mac client is running natively on it (after quite a wait), Mac M1 users are happy.
The only ARM based technology that is currently working is Apple Silicon. Simple Answer: Because ARM on Windows sucks - as long as Microsoft is linked up with Qualcomm, no improvement in sight.
