 Sure there was.
 It was a specific claim from someone who both claimed that ARM was "second-best"...
 ...and that the best counter-examples he could provide (I infer; do you even know the difference between "infer" and "imply". I very much doubt it.) MIGHT surpass ARM someday.

Well, I for one agree that Apple's move to ARM was a more significant technological event than RISC-V or LoongArch (which is way behind in performance, as far as I know) hypothetically supplanting it one day. Nevertheless, the point remains that the wonderful line ARM uses is limited to MacOS and is completely at the mercy of Apple and their decision on how long it each machine should be supported. At least with the competitors, you can install another system and extend the life of whatever hardware you invest in.
