x86 has spent decades being the best all-rouder architecture. The same basic stuff is in a midlevel desktop as is in high end compute server farms, dealing with all kinds of loads - office to gaming to content consumption to number crunching on the same platform. It will work great with Windows, with Linux, with ESXi and VMs, with legacy 8-bit software, whatever you throw at it
Apple silicon is built to be a really, really good content consumption device when paired with MacOS/iOS, and that comes with some "free" bonuses in some niches of content creation. It's fantastic in its niche, but I'd hate to push it far outside of that niche.
