Hot take: I still wish we had x86 phones and other mobile devices, Intel has finally started working to make them more energy efficient and I like how easy it I'd to install another OS on those. ARM just feels an excuse to lock down hardware, whereas x86 is much more open, and maybe that's why I could never use an ARM desktop and laptop

I don't think it would have mattered, its ultimately the android bootloader that is locked down not the CPU. If you compare to other arm devices like the Raspberry Pi or Steam Frame you see that ARM is not inherently locked.
