The proprietary video drivers for ARM SoCs have definitely been a problem for years and we can't rely on third party alternatives or first party support from linux popularity.

As far as software supporting arm, there are translation layers that can run x86 binaries on it and I am confident with more development and more powerful chipsets that won't be much of an issue for most applications.

That's the problem, right now arm development boards for Linux are limited which limits development of arm software on Linux which decreased the incentive to run Linux on an arm device. What computer manufacturer that uses arm processors that are comparable to standard Intel/AMD CPUs also supports Linux?
