Most software can simply be compiled for arm.
Walk up to a random person and say "yeah recompile this software for a different architecture while having no support as the architecture is unsupported"
Unless your using gentoo that's not a problem.
Yeah I could personally do that with minimal effort but keep in mind the vast majority of people aren't willing to. Most new Linux users get scared when they see a terminal, how are we supposed to convince people to give up tons of basic hardware features and tell them recompile software when they can keep using a proprietary operating system?
Well for now that question is unanswered. We only have demo boards and small embedded systems right now.
I think the rise of proprietary systems has already happened and we can only get more free from here.
