    Pratically no universal way of making Linux boot with ARM processors.

    Much more closed source drivers (than x86 ecosystem).

      This is the key - no universal (i.e. No open standard) BIOS like on PCs.

      We need a BIOS war for ARM, and since Android has it locked down, there’s little competition to push for it, unlike when DOS was trying to become the standard for minicomputers.
