Sort of a weird question but who's using Intel anymore? Most tech people are using Macs on the laptop side, AWS is going Graviton first, RaspberryPi/small form factor is ARM, and then of course there's all the higher level abstractions that are common where you can't even know what processor is under the hood.

No, most developers (and most people in general) use Windows. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology/#1-operating...
The surveys also shows that Linux is more or less equally popular with MacOS among techies. As nice as M1/M2 Macbooks are, I probably wouldn't pay Apple tax just to run Ubuntu on it.
Personally I use whatever boring laptop my company offers, and so far that's been Intel. As long as it runs Linux I don't care what's under the hood.
That survey also shows iOS being the primary OS for 7.3% of professional use, which to me sound absolutely absurd.
Most everyone in the personal computer space still. E.g. 23Q4 Intel held 78% of all desktop and laptop CPU sales (include ARM MacBooks and Chromebooks)
