Uhhhh, not sure what you mean about Linux and ARM. That's very much a thing.
Windows is a different story because cross-compilation with the OS libs and utils is necessary, and Microsoft does not push that.
Running everything in compat mode with translators is kind of defeating the purpose. The way this gets more adoption is Qualcomm OPENING THE FUCKING INTERFACES TO EVERYONE, which they are notoriously against doing. They want everyone to pay a license for fucking everything. So stupid.
My wording might have sucked, but yeah, Linux on ARM has plenty of software, excluding Android.
