    While I wouldn't mind an ARM port:

    - MorphOS for the time being is single core and the best single core performance is in AMD64
    -- closest ARM is Apple which would be a non starter
    -- affordable and "open" ARM systems (rPI and the like) lag far behind

    - none of the suitable ARM systems have proper PCIe so no Radeon GPU
    -- what they do have is closed up GPU only supported by binary blobs

    - AMD64 also has endian switching opcodes

    - the AMD64 port exists in a raw state which is better than starting from 0 on ARM

    - the imminent death of x86 has been prophesied for at least 35 years by now, won't happen any time soon
